Before having to sit out the last five games last year because of bad knees that would soon require surgery, John Wall missed 13, 16 and 33 games in his first three seasons with the Wizards. To miss a game when 100% healthy? Unacceptable.

“That’s the difference about our league now. It’s kind of gotten a little softer,” Wall told CSNmidatlantic.com, comparing today’s NBA to previous eras. “Guys sit out and rest. I understand the coach made a decision, you can’t go against what the coach said or the doctor said.”
