Washington Wizards Get Needed Boost With Return of Star PG

What Happened?

After missing 29 games due to a left ankle sprain, Washington Wizards point guard John Wall made his long-awaited return to the lineup on Monday night against the Milwaukee Bucks. Wall had been sidelined since December 31 and his absence was a significant blow to the Wizards, who had gone 11-18 in his absence.

In his return, Wall played 24 minutes and finished with 15 points, 11 assists, and 3 rebounds. He also had 6 turnovers, but that was to be expected given that he was playing his first game in over two months.

What it Means for the Wizards

Wall's return is a major boost for the Wizards, who are currently 22-30 and in 11th place in the Eastern Conference. With Wall back in the lineup, the Wizards have a much better chance of making a playoff push. Wall is one of the best point guards in the league and he makes everyone around him better.

In the four games that Wall played before his injury, the Wizards were 3-1. They averaged 115.3 points per game in those four games and shot 48.2% from the field. In the 29 games that Wall missed, the Wizards averaged just 106.7 points per game and shot 44.5% from the field.

With Wall back in the lineup, the Wizards have a much better chance of winning games and making a playoff push.

What to Expect from Wall
