The Wizards traded John Wall to Houston prior to the season but the point guard remains up to speed with basketball in Washington.
“I can tell you one thing, I’m watching every game.” Wall said of the Wizards (via Chase Hughes of NBC Sports Washington). “If I’m not playing, I’m definitely watching every game. I could switch my iPad around right now and I could show you I’ve got three TVs, like I’ve always had, to watch basketball or football all night long. That’s what I do.”
Every game? Is Wall bitter about the only franchise he’s ever known shipping him to Houston? We wouldn’t say that but here’s what he said regarding the new-look team.
“It’s definitely totally different, not seeing me out there, seeing [Russell Westbrook] and some of the other guys they have added. [They also] haven’t played in the past two weeks and also dealing with Covid,” Wall said.
“We know how special Brad [Beal] is and what he means to that organization and what type of player he is. You know he’s going to be one of those top leading scorers every freaking night if he wants to. That’s what he has proven. I think it’s just tough because they’re still dealing with the same problems, just trying to find ways to win.”
