Former All-NBA point guard John Wall held a private workout in Las Vegas this week, and according to the Athletic’s Kelly Iko, the Boston Celtics were one of several teams with personnel in attendance. Iko reported Wall is hoping to mount an NBA comeback after being waived by the Houston Rockets last season.
Wall is not the player he once was. The five-time All-Star was at one point one of the fastest and most dynamic offensive threats in the Association. Injuries have been a consistent problem for Wall, however, who turns 33 this September. Prior to being traded to and subsequently waived by the Rockets, Wall had a brief showing with the Los Angeles Clippers headlined by poor shooting and costly turnovers.
Boston’s appearance at Wall’s workout this week could be nothing more than due diligence. But the Celtics are a little thin at the point guard position, and Wall is a veteran who can orchestrate an offense better than most.
The team has shifted its defensive identity and made, at least in the eyes of some, questionable roster management decisions. https://t.co/H7fHrdxSHs
