At almost 33 years old and despite repeated injuries, John Wall still thinks he has his place in the NBA. After starting the 2022/23 season at the Clippers, he was finally sent back to the Rockets before the “trade deadline” to allow the California franchise to get their hands on Eric Gordon.
A return to square one since Houston cut him in stride and the leader did not find a deal afterwards. He was even believed to be leaving for Australia, at the South East Melbourne Phoenix, in which he holds shares.
The presence of the vast majority of the NBA community in Las Vegas will ultimately be one more opportunity for him to show that he can still render services in the Big League. since Chris Haynes revealed that a workout was going to be organized this Sunday to allow him to prove his worth to the teams likely to be interested.
Dion Waiters and Harry Giles in the loop
This Monday, two other players on the floor will do the same in an attempt to force fate during a “workout” in Las Vegas. This is the whimsical back Dion Waiters, whom we have not seen since the title won by the Lakers in the “bubble” of Orlando, and Harry Giles III.
At 31, full-back Dion Waiters will have to convince himself that he can still play at the highest professional level after a three-year break.
For Harry Giles III, 25, it’s more his resistance to injuries that should be assessed, since that’s what cost this 2m11 inside to gradually leave the professional scene after a last stop in the G-League at Agua Caliente Clippers, from where he ended up being sacked in January 2022 because of a new injury.
