Houston Considers Suiting Up John Wall
3 years agoHouston Rockets point guard John Wall may take the floor for his current organization again after all. Wall was expected to be moved prior to the start of the year, but after a trade did not manifest itself, the veteran has remained inactive as the team seeks to deal him to a new franchise. But per Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN, Wall and the Rockets have had dialogue about the five-time All-Star returning to action. The 31-year-old already had much of his fantasy shine damaged by a torn Achilles tendon, which wiped out his 2019-20 season; an extended layoff this year will further sow fantasy manager mistrust. A return is far from imminent, but the door to Wall suiting up certainly appears to be more open than it has been previously.

John Wall To Miss Next Two Weeks
2 years agoLos Angeles Clippers guard John Wall (abdomen) is set to miss at least the next two weeks of action. The Clippers have decided to shut down the veteran guard for a couple of weeks while he recovers from an abdominal strain. His absence should mean that Terance Mann continues to get significant playing time in the rotation. Also, Reggie Jackson will likely be asked to contribute more with Wall unavailable to play. Mann is certainly worth rostering while Wall is out. Fantasy managers can take a wait-and-see approach with Jackson as he heavily struggled earlier in the season.

John Wall Not Expected To Suit Up On Sunday
2 years agoLos Angeles Clippers guard John Wall (abdomen) is not expected to play against the Houston Rockets. The veteran logged 29 minutes on Friday versus the Denver Nuggets, finishing with 16 points and seven rebounds. However, he's now dealing with abdominal soreness, so he's on track to join Luke Kennard (calf) and Paul George (hamstring) on the shelf. Norman Powell, who had 18 points in the meeting with Denver, is expected to draw plenty of interest from DFS managers once Wall is officially ruled out.

John Wall Unavailable For Thursday
2 years agoLos Angeles Clippers guard John Wall (knee) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Denver Nuggets. The veteran guard will sit this game out for rest purposes. It's the first game of a back-to-back set, so the Clippers aren't going to push Wall. His absence should open up more minutes for Terance Mann. He'll have some low-end streaming value for Thursday's contest. Fantasy managers should expect Wall back in the lineup for Friday.

John Wall Won't Play On Tuesday Against Raptors
2 years agoLos Angeles Clippers guard John Wall (injury maintenance) is getting a rest day on Tuesday and will watch from the sidelines as the team takes on the Toronto Raptors. This wasn't his usual fourth-game pattern, but he'll be out for injury maintenance. He played well off of the bench on Monday against the Detroit Pistons as he turned in 16 points, five rebounds, and five assists. While he's out, Terance Mann will likely get some of those vacated minutes at guard, but he's not the best streaming option at the moment.
