John Wall sides with Kyrie Irving: ‘I think he has a point’

Dwight Howard and Avery Bradley have sided with Kyrie Irving as he works to make a case that the NBA should not resume the 2019-20 season at Disney in Orlando while the Black Lives Matter movement has the nation’s full attention amidst the novel coronavirus pandemic. And now, another notable player has expressed he doesn’t think the NBA should end the hiatus, either.

Washington Wizards guard John Wall — who cannot play in Orlando due to injury, like Irving — doesn’t think he’d want to go play in Disney if he were healthy right now out of fear of injury.

While explaining his reasoning to Caron Butler on “The Tuff Juice Podcast,” Wall also added that he sees where Irving is coming from with his reasoning:

Kyrie has his things where he be in his own world… ‘The Earth is flat.’ But to be honest, I think he has a point. A lot of people feel that way. I think that’s why they tried to get on that call to see how many people really want to go play and how many people don’t want to play. Because with all this ‘Black Lives Matter’ going on and protesting and trying to get justice and all that; a lot of people feel like it’s not safe to go there. That’s what he stands on.
