The Washington Wizards are closer than ever to a John Wall return, as he joined the team traveling to Detroit, officially listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Pistons, according to Candace Buckner of The Washington Post.
Wall has gone through a couple of full-contact five-on-five practices as of Wednesday morning and could join the team on the court in the very near future, though that remains a mystery to him, still raring to return.
“To be honest, I have no idea,” Wall said after the team’s practice. “I don’t know how many practices I have to go through with contact, so whenever I’ll be able to talk to the doctors and the trainers again and if this is the last one or I have to do one more then it will kind of sum up when I’ll be able to play.
“I feel like I’ve shown what I had to in practice and stuff like that,” Wall added. “I’m just going through the protocol and all the many practices or things I have to do to clear what they want me to clear.”
The Wizards have rolled with Tomas Satoransky as his replacement in the lineup and have managed to stay in the playoff race with Bradley Beal as the lone go-to scoring option, isolated within 1.5 games of the fifth-place Indiana Pacers and the seventh-place Miami Heat — fighting to make one last push to get in the top-four of the board with only eight games left in the season.
Washington snapped a three-game skid with a key win over the San Antonio Spurs last night, tallying 33 assists and getting a priceless quote from head coach Scott Brooks to boot.
