Washington Wizards All-Star point guard John Wall is planning to undergo season-ending surgery to repair bone spurs in his left heel, according to Adrian Wojnarowski and Brian Windhorst of ESPN.
The Washington Post reported earlier Saturday morning that Wall was contemplating having the surgery which would end his 2018-19 season. After meeting with specialist Dr. Robert Anderson on Saturday, John Wall and his camp decided to take the doctors advice and have the procedure now.
Washington Wizards star John Wall is planning to undergo season-ending surgery to repair bone spurs in his left heel, league sources told ESPN.
Wall, 28, is expected to finalize a timetable for the procedure in the coming days, sources said. Recovery could sideline the point guard for six months.
Doctors determined the procedure is necessary for Wall to remedy an issue that has bothered him for more than a year. Wall met with specialist Dr. Robert Anderson on Saturday, who recommended the surgery.
John Wall played in 32 games this season. The five-time All-Star guard and former No. 1 overall pick averaged 20.7 points, 3.6 rebounds and 8.7 assists per game while shooting 44.4 percent from the field, 30.2 percent from beyond the arc and 69.7 percent from the free-throw line.
The Wizards have been a walking disaster this season with Wall in the lineup, so things are probably going to get even worse for them now.
