“It’s obviously very bad news for us,” said Tomas Satoransky, who will replace Wall in the starting lineup. “It’s a big loss obviously. Feeling kind of sad for him.”
“We spent a lot of time together. We sit next to each other on the plane,” Markieff Morris said. “He was dealing with being uncomfortable, but he was pushing through it. He’s a true warrior. I’m just glad we figured this thing out so he can get healthy and by the time he comes back, we’ll be in a playoff push and ready for the postseason.”
Although the Wizards still have a capable leader in Beal — he anchored the team’s offense during the nine games Wall missed in November and December — the team still functions better with both all-stars on the floor.
“[Wall] puts it on a platter for most of us and without him, everybody has to take their game up another level,” Morris said. “You need guys to be better play makers. You need guys to be scoring the ball more. You need everybody to bring their game up.”
After news of Wall’s injury broke, ESPN also noted the depth of Washington’s reliance on Wall: When he plays, the team’s net efficiency is the equivalent of the Boston Celtics (fourth best in NBA). Without Wall, Washington would rank 23rd out of 30 teams.
“It’s a challenge, obviously,” Satoransky said about stepping up in Wall’s absence. “John is the main guy, so it’s always tough to cover your main guy when he goes down and it’s very challenging. Obviously I like challenges, but it will be a lot of responsibility. Playing for me as a starter against other starters, it’s another challenge and step up in my game, so we’ll see how it goes. But I think we have great teammates here and great players who also can embrace the moment and make the best out of it.”
