The Washington Wizards announced that guard John Wall underwent a successful procedure today to excise calcific deposits in his left patella tendon in order to eliminate pain and assist healing.
He will begin the rehabilitation process immediately and is expected to be available for the start of the 2016-17 season.
Wall also underwent an arthroscopic lavage on his right knee in order to remove loose bodies.
Wall averaged career-highs in points (19.9, 21 st in the NBA), assists (10.2, third in the NBA), rebounds (4.9), and steals (1.9, tied for eighth in the NBA) this season while posting a career-high 49 double-doubles (tied for fourth in the NBA, second amongst guards) in 77 games.
