Over the past few years, Wall has missed time with the Achilles, major knee injuries, bone spurs in his heel and general dings. And that’s why his comment three and a half months ago reminded me to do something: When I talk about “The last time John Wall was healthy,” a topic that tends to come up in the life of a Wizards beat writer, make sure to clarify that the last time he was truly himself wasn’t just before the Achilles injury in January of 2019 or barely before the bone spurs in his heel earlier that same season. It was in 2016-17, three years ago. And that’s probably why he spewed the following quote — which the Internet gobbled up and pumped back out for unexpected, suspended-season basketball content — while chatting with Barnes and Jackson a week ago.
