Washington Wizard point guard John Wall is doubtful to play against the Indiana Pacers on Monday due to bone spurs that have been bothering him for some time now.
According to Wizards head coach Scott Brooks, John Wall has been suffering from illness since their match with the Cleveland Cavaliers. However, he revealed that the bone spurs in Wall's heel sidelined the All-Star guard in today's practice.
John Wall did not practice today, per Scott Brooks. Brooks said heās feeling better with his illness (he was under the weather yesterday and missed shootaround because of it) but sat because of the bone spurs that have been bugging him. Wallās status is uncertain for tomorrow.

Brooks also admitted that Wall has āhad some spurs for a whileā now and it started bothering him during their game with the Cavs. The 28-year-old Wall ended the game with only one point, four rebounds and six assists after 26 minutes of play.




Brooks on bone spurs in Wall's heel: "He's had some spurs for a while, long before I got here. It comes and goes. During the game, it started bothering him."

Wall is currently averaging 20.4 points, 3.5 rebounds, 8.3 assists and 1.6 steals per game. He is the Wizards' second-leading scorer, behind Bradley Beal who is putting up 22.6 markers per contest.
Washington is 11-15 on the season so far and is only starting to find their rhythm after a tumultuous start that saw them drop all the way down to the bottom of the East. Wall has been a huge part of their recent rise, so his possible absence will be a huge blow to the team.
The Wizards, however, will hope that the issue isn't that serious and that it won't keep Wall sidelined for a long time.
