Washington Wizards: Will John Wall Return This Season?

Read below what Wall said about the surgery:

“If I don’t want to deal with the pain or make it any worse and have an opportunity to maybe rupture my whole Achilles’ later down the road, you get the surgery and take it out.”

According to the Wizards, he developed an infection in the incision from that procedure. The rupture of his Achilles’ was diagnosed by Wizards director of medical services and orthopedist Dr. Wiemi Douoguih during a procedure to clean out the original incision, per source.
