[Jeff Van Gully]

he was already recovering from another surgery, right? why is it so hard to believe he slipped?

Wait, he had another surgery he was recovering from? I did not know that. Geez, he should just donate he body to medical science at this point

i believe he was already out and recovering.

I thought it was just an injury with no surgery. But you're saying "surgery"?

EDIT: Yep, you're right. Here's his injury/surgical history.

Sept. 28, 2012 – Diagnosed with a non-traumatic stress injury in his left knee during pre-season. Missed the first 33 games of the season – Wizards were 5-28 during that stretch.

May 3, 2015 – Injures left wrist and hand in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Semi-finals against the Atlanta Hawks. He had five non-displaced fractures in his left wrist/hand, missed three games in the series.

Dec. 6, 2015 – Banged his right knee in a game against the Dallas Mavericks. X-rays were negative, but Wall revealed that he was dealing with a bruise on the same knee prior to the injury. Did not miss any direct time.

Apr. 6, 2016 – Wall listed as questionable with a sore right knee. Missed two games before being shut down with the team out of post-season contention. In total, he missed five games.

May 5, 2016 – Undergoes a procedure on both of his knees. His left was to ‘excise calcific deposits’ to ease the pain and his right was to remove ‘loose bodies.’

Apr. 10, 2017 – Misses two games at the end of the season due to a quad injury. Both games were for ‘rest’ because the Wizards were already locked into the No. 4 seed for the playoffs.

Nov. 5, 2017 – Wall listed with right shoulder soreness, misses one game.

Nov. 16, 2017 –MRI after left knee discomfort. He received PRP (platelet-rich plasma) injections to reduce inflammation and missed nine games from Nov. 23 to Dec. 13.

Jan. 30, 2018 – Consulted with knee specialist and will have a procedure on his left knee to ‘cleanup’ the area and ease pain. Expected to miss six to eight weeks after already missing a game.

Dec. 29, 2018 - Wall sees specialist to deal with reoccurring pain in his left heel, decides to have surgery to fix his discomfort. It is expected that he will miss 6-8 months, ending his season. Before the announcement of the injury, Wall missed four games in a four-week span.

Feb. 5, 2019 - Wizards to announce that Wall will have surgery to repair a ruptured Achilles tendon.

he already had achilles surgery. he was having complications from the surgery. then he slipped and fell and has ruptured the achilles and is in need of another surgery.

Post his partying and clubbing history and postulate how this happened. Lmao.

Wall was suffering from Haglund's deformity, a painful AF (I have it) condition where calicfied bone growth happens at the back of your heel. Which means a rupture of your Achilles at ANY TIME. The fact that Wall was playing NBA level basketball is insane, Haglund's severely limits running and jumping. The Wizards Medical staff is at fault here. It doesn't even need an x-ray to diagnose. Crazy. It's common for runners and soccer players to have. I feel for dude.

His career might be finished. Doubt he's ever the same player

With the weight he was packing on before the injury he was already in decline. Unless he changes his mindset and eating habits he is done.
