The NBA world saw 5-time All-Star John Wall announce his retirement. The former star of the Washington Wizards played 11 years in the league–missing a season due to injury and another because he was too productive for the Houston Rockets in 2022–and averaged 18.7 points, 8.9 assists, and 4.2 rebounds in his career.
Wall finished seventh in MVP voting in 2017 with the Wizards and played with Philadelphia 76ers star Paul George when the two of them were with the Los Angeles Clippers. When Wall was right, he was one of the best players in the league and was a player that elevated his teammates.

George gave love to Wall via his podcast on Twitter as he acknowledged his former NBA draft and teammate with the Clippers.
George will be looking to help the Sixers bounce back in the 2025-26 season. He played only 41 games in his first season in Philadelphia and will need to be healthy to help the Sixers get over the hump in the Eastern Conference.
