Washington Wizards point guard John Wall has progressed to participating in various drills and could potentially make his return from a knee injury by the middle of next week, according to the Washington Post’s Candace Buckner.
According to a source with knowledge of the situation, Wall, who received platelet-rich plasma and viscosupplementation injections in his left knee on Nov. 25, could make his return to the lineup by the middle of next week. The team originally shared that Wall would miss “approximately two weeks,” yet Wall has not gone through a practice or a shootaround with teammates. Although Wall is improving, he still needs more time to recover, the source said.
Wall has missed the Wizards’ last seven games due to his knee ailment, with the team going 4-3 in his absence.
After struggling to adjust without his backcourt mate, Bradley Beal has stepped up with big-time performances in the last couple of games. He went off for a career-high 51 points in a win against the Portland Trail Blazers and followed that up with a team-high 34 points to help beat the Phoenix Suns.
The Wizards play a back-to-back in the middle of next week. They go on the road to face the Brooklyn Nets on Tuesday before facing the Memphis Grizzlies back home on Wednesday.
