Question to all wizards fans.

Do you think John Wall is injury prone?

I personally think it is too early to tell, but am not happy with the number of games he missed so far this season.

Cheers fellows


Hopefully he's not an injury prone player. He's a freaking spring chicken.

Wall has the following injuries incurred this season:

Left Foot Sprain - Suffered when collided with Yao Ming.

Right Knee Bone Bruise - Sustained during a collision in practice.

Along with nagging pain on his right knee due to the bruise. The good news is that it is not tendonitis that is causing him pain on the right knee. In which many times knee tendonitis has plagued alot of players. On Wall's case, his injuries are incurred due to physical accidents.
 
I read an article that it might that new reebok shoe. something to do with design of the shoe or the pattern of the sole, not grip???

anyone knows more about this. i've seen the shoe and all i can say it looks weird

Ah yes, the RBK ZigSlash has an unorthodox design in terms of the shoe's soles which is designed and optimized for speed where the pedals features ridges in between sole spaces for less traction; meaning less grip and friction which are altogether factors in safe landing.

The design is optimized for running and I think based on shoe reviews compromises stability in down landing or a forward-on-the-move landing.

John Wall could miss more time

John Wall could miss more time

Rookie point guard John Wall could miss more games and needs more time to recover from a bone bruise under his right kneecap. It is unclear when will John Wall play and the team have not issued a timetable for return.

It seems the fans are still turned off by Andray Blatche for the incident last season, where Blatche refused to play for the Wizards because the Wizards were out for the playoff race and Blatche called it a "Waste of time" to play for nothing. It can be remembered that Blatche was promoted to the starting role after the Antawn Jamison and Brendan Haywood trade.
 
Way to go guys :rolleyes: That's the Christmas spirit! Not!!!! :D
Two Wizards involved in fight
FOX Sports

Two Washington Wizards players were involved in a fight outside a nightclub early Friday morning, The Washington Post reported.

JaVale McGee and Andray Blatche were reportedly yelling at each other, and league sources said that the teammates came to blows outside a Washington-area club. No arrests were made and no one was injured, the Post reported.

One source told the newspaper that teammate Al Thorton tried to separate Blatche and McGee but was punched by a bouncer.

The Wizards denied the report.

“The team looked into the matter earlier today and determined it was simply a disagreement between teammates,” a team spokesman told the paper.

Blatche, a sixth-year power forward, is averaging 16.8 points and 7.7 rebounds this season, and third-year center McGee is averaging 9.2 points and 4.9 rebounds.

The Wizards’ next game is against the Spurs in San Antonio on Sunday.

Hah, hah!! :D :D

I hadn't heard about this. I completely believe it. Blatche seems to be very, very immature. He's definitely on Santa's "naughty" list:
  • Pretended to be shot by Gilbert Arenas during warm-ups after Arenas brought live guns to the locker room
  • Made himself look silly by begging an opposing player to give him a rebound so he could get a triple-double and then got furious with a teammate who grabbed a rebound
  • Refused to enter games
  • Many traffic incidents incidents have caused him to have his license suspended three times
  • Tried to buy prostitute sex from an undercover police officer
Get it together, man. Grow up and behave.

The Wizards should go back to their original name "Washington Bullets" cuz that really fits well with how some of their players are currently acting/performing.. It seems that getting rid of Arenas isn't just the solution for this team to get on the right track "disciplinary wise"...
 
Latest development:

Wizards suspend Blatche, McGee for game

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Washington Wizards suspended forward Andray Blatche and center JaVale McGee for one game Saturday for conduct detrimental to the team.

They will miss the team's game Sunday at San Antonio.

"After further investigation into an incident on Thursday night, we concluded that Andray and JaVale conducted themselves in an unprofessional manner," Wizards President Ernie Grunfeld said.

The Washington Post said on its website that Blatche and McGee were involved in an altercation outside an area club early Friday. The newspaper reported that two league sources said the players cursed at each other and exchanged punches. The Post said another source said police were called to break up the fight.

I don't know if that's the required solution... Just suspending them for 1 game isn't going to change these guys attitudes.. Imo assigining them to community service activities would be more beneficial.
 
news just in

Agreed. Two teammates fighting is just pathetic and a one game suspension is not going to change either of them. It's like making a kid wash a chalkboard after spitting at his teacher. It's just not an appropriate punishment.

Some teammates at Mississippi State got into a fight recently, too. :rolleyes:
 
Washington Wizards 80 San Antonio Spurs 94

A severely undermanned Wizards losing to the San Antonio Spurs; the League's best record team. Center JaVale McGee and Power forward Andray Blatche did not play due to suspensions made by team towards their in-fighting.

Veteran forward Rashard Lewis, who was recently acquired through a trade and once admitting that he was surprised by the trade, did start and produced a team high 21 points, adding 12 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal and 1 block. Lewis shot 8-19 from the field and was 4-8 from beyond the arc.

Kirk Hinrich scored 15 points while handing off 7 assists. Rookie point guard John Wall did play via off the bench in 19:16 of playing time. Wall had 4 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 block.
