On July 1, 2022, the transfer of John Wall from the Houston Rockets to the LA Clipperswith a two-year contract. The base, 31 years old, reached the NBA What 2010 draft number 1 and chosen by Washington Wizards. He played there for nine seasons before heading to the Texan franchise.
John Wall played 40 games in three seasons, all in 2020-21; none in 2019-20 and 2021-22. “This is the darkest place I’ve ever been. I mean… I even thought about suicide. I tore my Achilles tendon, my mother was sick and ended up dying, my grandmother died a year later… all while dealing with COVID. I went through chemotherapy with my mom, I saw her breathe for days without changing her clothes as I joined her on the sofa.said in an interview with Salvation Army of Wake County.

“If I can get through this, I can get through anything in life… I want to go back to the top and see that the fans still want me to play… The support of my people and everyone means a lot . . . On that road I had to get a therapist, you know, a lot of people think, ‘I don’t need help. I can get over this at any time.’ But you have to be true to yourself and figure out what’s best for you. I did.”he concluded.
