The Washington Wizards have been without the services of All-Star point guard John Wall for the last three games due to soreness in his left knee.

This situation was heightened after he received a platelet-rich-plasma injection in the area six days ago in order to reduce the inflammation. Wall finally shed some light on the injury on Friday morning stating that it initially began when he had a knee-to-knee collision against the Dallas Mavericks on Nov. 7 and progressively worsened to a boiling point after facing the Charlotte Hornets two weeks later, according to Chase Hughes of NBC Sports Washington.

“In Charlotte after the game I was with a couple of my friends. My agent said I was limping throughout the game. I didn’t even notice it. The adrenaline, going through the game, being back home in front of family. It was like, alright you need to do something about it,” he said.

“We talked, figured out what it was. After the Charlotte game I could barely walk. It was flaming up. My knee was swelling up even more. They were like we have to do something about it. I agreed to it.”

During that process, Wall had sat out against the Raptors, but it didn't alleviate the situation and now have him on the shelf for another week or so. The 27-year-old has a well-document history with knee injuries as he went through knee surgeries during the 2016 offseason. This could very well be playing a factor in him dealing with these nagging issues this year.

It has been more than just his knees as he dealt with a sprained shoulder, sprained ankle, swollen knee, and even needed IVs to help him get through an illness. Wall has been tested physically this season more than any other in recent memory but has stayed productive averaging 20.3 points and 9.2 points in the 16 games that he has played.

The Wizards currently hold a 2-3 record in the games that he has missed this season. They will likely take the precautionary approach in order to avoid this knee injury from lingering on any further beyond when he returns over the next week or so.
