The Washington Wizards’ poor season just got worse. Star guard John Wall is reportedly planning to have heel surgery that will sideline him for six-to-eight months, according to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN. Wall’s injury was originally reported by Candace Buckner of The Washington Post.
The 28-year-old Wall missed Friday’s game against the Chicago Bulls in order to see a foot specialist. Now, Wall has reportedly decided to undergo the procedure, meaning his season is over.
