Washington Wizards guard John Wall is on path to recovering from a devastating Achilles injury.
Wall sustained the injury early last season and there is still no timetable for his return. However, Wall posted a photo of his progress on Instagram, showing that he is getting back into NBA shape.

Wall knows that there is plenty of haters that will doubt his ability to return to top form, but he is not letting it get him down. In an interview with Ethan Cadeaux of NBC Sports Washington, Wall said that all the doubts and criticisms motivate him.
“I'm one of those guys that's very driven by all the hate and all the negative talk I'm getting. Keep it going. Everybody said I can't be myself, I won't be nowhere near as good again. That's all the other stuff that's going to fuel me.”
It sounds and looks like Wall is extremely motivated to return to the team and prove he is every bit as good as he used to be. Before his Achilles injury, Wall was perennially in the debate for top five point guards in the league and easily one of the most electrifying players when running a break. However, he has been dogged with questions about his defensive effort and lack of a shooting stroke.
Achilles injuries can be deadly to players that rely on speed and athleticism to play their best game. Hopefully, Wall can shrug off the injury as easily as he shrugs off the words of those that doubt his ability.
