While addressing Bradley Beal, Sheppard pointed out how Beal’s life would be easier “when he gets John back next year.” That prompted a follow-up and Sheppard explained why no one should expect Wall to play until the start of next season. “I think we have maintained that all along. We didn’t plan on seeing him this year. I think that’s fair to John, to manage the expectations for him,” Sheppard said. “He’s on his way, but he’s not there and he’s not close yet. He’s a lot closer than he was a year ago when the injury happened.”
