With his long awaited contract buyout finally complete, five-time NBA All-Star John Wall can finally talk about the Rockets in the past tense. He technically spent the last two years with the franchise, though he did not play in 2021-22 due to Houston’s transition to a full rebuild.
Wall reportedly will be on his way to the Los Angeles Clippers once his contract clears waivers. But before he introduces himself to a new team, he took time Thursday afternoon to thank his old one.
On Twitter, Wall wrote:
Even though my time in Houston was brief, I just want to thank the Fertitta family, the entire Rockets front office, my teammates, and most of all, the fans, for embracing me while I was there.
With the Rockets unlikely to contend for titles in the immediate future, it shouldn’t come as a surprise if many around the organization are cheering for Wall’s success over the coming season or two.
