During his first practice, John Wall sustained a groin injury that got just as much press as Mel Gibson’s domestic abuse tapes. The injury occurred on Thursday and kept the number one draft pick out of practice on Friday. John Wall says “yes my groin is ok…just tweaked it a Lil bit”, which I am sure was music to the ears of Wizards fans.[PRBREAK][/PRBREAK]
We’re glad to hear that it seems, at least in John’s words, that there is nothing to worry about. The amount of press his groin got would have made one think that it was a career impacting injury. “Wall Hurt in first practice”, “John Wall injures groin”, “First Pick, First Injury”, “One Practice, One Injury” and 58,200 other titles as displayed on Google search results for John Wall Groin.
Everything is good to go for the former Wildcat point guard. He practiced Friday during the evening session and the coaching staff are pleased with what they are seeing. “He has unbelievable speed” Coach Flip Saunders said.
