Summer is that time of the year when NBA players can kick back a bit more than any other time of the year. With no games on schedule and no mandatory practices, they can afford to take as many days off as they want. That doesn't mean a lot of players don't set up their own individual workouts. Washington Wizards point guard John Wall has been hard at work in Miami with renowned trainer David Alexander, but he seems to have taken a break from the barber.
In a now-deleted photo uploaded earlier by the Wizards showing Wall in Team USA gear, the 27-year-old floor general looked like someone who got totally plastered a night before attending the national team’s minicamp in Las Vegas. The fact that the minicamp is being held in Las Vegas will likely only fuel jokes that Wall was out partying the night before the photos were taken. NBA Twitter has already absolutely roasted Wall for his look.
Wall did acknowledge his disheveled state, though, and was kind of sport about it when Bleacher Report’s Yaron Weitzman asked him about the photo. The five-time NBA All-Star guard even said that his appearance resembled that of someone who just made a trip to the slammer.
Because I'm a very serious jorunalist I asked John Wall about the trending picture. He said he hasn't been on twitter today but saw the photo earlier.
'I sent it to my mom and said it looks like I just got to jail.'

At this point, we are beginning to think that Wall woke up Thursday in a Las Vegas suite and found out a tiger in the bathroom, which he and his friends tried to bring to Mike Tyson. He also probably got hit by a stun gun in a police station. We’re just narrating random moments from The Hangover here, but you get the idea.
