Overview

  • Wall announced his retirement in a social-media video on Aug. 19, saying he is stepping off the court but staying close to the game.
  • Amazon Prime Video has announced Wall will serve as an analyst, marking his immediate move into media after concluding his playing career.
  • The Wizards congratulated Wall in a post calling him one of the franchise’s all-time greats, reflecting his central place in team history.
  • A No. 1 pick in 2010, Wall made five All-Star teams and All-NBA in 2017, finished with 647 regular-season games, and averaged 18.7 points and 8.9 assists.
  • Recurring leg injuries, including a torn Achilles, derailed his later years as he was traded to Houston for Russell Westbrook in 2020, last played 34 games for the Clippers in 2022-23, and saw comeback efforts in 2024 yield no contract.
