- We pray for the best solution, but prepare for the worst-case scenario – Bradley Beal said John Walla of injury.
Washington Wizards quarterbacks in Sunday’s game against the Atlanta Hawks fell heavily on his left hand. His swollen wrist and hand, but the meeting had finished, and the Wizards suffered a surprising victory. Basketball argued that it will be ready to play in the next games, but no swelling went down, and the pain remained. Wall had to quit the game in the match number two, meeting Wizards lost. – I’m in the league for 30 years and is one of the toughest players I know. If you did not play, this is something really serious – said coach Randy Wittman.
Wizards long time did not know what was happening with the Wall. Basketball had taken two x-rays in Atlanta, but the pictures did not see anything alarming. Only after his return to Washington, Wall passed detailed study. On Thursday afternoon, the band announced that in the hand and wrist Walla is up to five microfracture. It is not known that bones 24-year-old playmaker is damaged. The team did not give too, when Wall will be able to get back into the game, but a scenario in which the team will have to cope without him until the end of the play-offs.
– There is no deadline for his return should be prepared to play without him. Knowing John, I know that if only a slight chance he can play, he will do everything to be ready – said on Thursday Wittman.
Journal “Washington Post” interviewed two independent orthopedic surgeons who say it whether the Wall will come back sooner or later, depending on which of the 27 bones in the hand is broken. – No matter what is damaged, it will be bothering him for at least two weeks – said David Moss of Washington Orthopedics and Sports Medicine. Wall could play in a special protective glove, but will then risked further deepening of the injury. It must also reckon with the enormous pain. – If you get hit, it will be very hurt and will affect a huge way on his game. It really serious injury – said Dr. Steven S. Shin, who is a medical consultant Los Angeles Lakers.
The possible loss Walla is a huge problem for the Wizards. 24-year-old was the leader of the biggest surprises of this year’s playoffs. The team from Washington, first in an amazing style eliminated the Toronto Raptors (win series 4-0), then defeated in the first match the best in the East, Atlanta Hawks basketball. Louder they talked not only about the East finals, but the great NBA Finals. Without Walla Wizards chances of success are slim, because the team without its leader virtually no wins – in the last five seasons Wizards have lost 40 of 50 games in which he played no Wall.
The quarterback is the real driving force of the team. In five games in the playoffs he averaged 17.4 points and has 12.6 assists per game. After his tales colleagues earn on average more than 30 points per game (actually 30.8), and when it is on the court, the team gets 49 percent. his throws (40 percent without it.). Without Walla Wizards lost the second game of the series with the Hawks, though long tormented favored rivals.
If Wall will not be able to play, the top five will replace it with Ramon Sessions. 29-year-old quarterback in the game number two as a player for the first five threw 21 points, but had only four assists and led the team play as well as Wall. – We do not expect that Ramon will be the second John Wall. More to give himself must also others. No one on us not put in the first round, now we are not favorites. It will be our motivation – Wittman said.
