The Los Angeles Clippers point guard John Wall will be sidelined for at least two weeks after he suffered an abdominal injury during the 115-103 loss to the Denver Nuggets. Wall felt pain in his abdomen after stretching to perform an explosive dunk.
News of Wall’s injury was broken by the Clippers as they ruled him out of their 121-100 win over the Houston Rockets on Sunday. Paul George, Marcus Morris Sr., and Luke Kennard were ruled out as well.
While George, Morris, and Kennard are all considered day-to-day, the Clippers have confirmed that it will be two weeks until Wall is reevaluated.
“I haven’t jumped like that when somebody contested me in probably like three years to be honest,” Wall said after the Nuggets’ game. “… I think I just stretched it as much as I could when I dunked it.”
Although Wall remains unavailable, the Clippers have been boosted by news that Paul George could return sooner than expected. George has missed five consecutive games since aggravating a right hamstring injury that sidelined him for seven games earlier on in the season.
