John Wall was a late scratch, ruled out of the second game against the Atlanta Hawks on Tuesday night because his sprained wrist would not allow him to dribble with control.
Wall was hurting since falling on the wrist Sunday in Game 1. He vowed that if nothing was broken, which he said it is not, he would play.
A brief test in warmups 90 minuted before tipoff was enough to put him in a suit instead of an uniform.
