When John Wall made his announcing debut at G League Showcase, he was honest about his pursuit of an NBA comeback.

John Wall made it clear during his broadcast debut at the NBA G League Winter Showcase that he still has NBA aspirations. Despite not playing in the league since the 2022-2023 season, Wall, now 34 years old, expressed his passion for the game and his ongoing efforts to stay in shape. He stated, “I’m always going to critique myself. … I can get a lot better,” and emphasized how much he loves talking about basketball, which he often does with his friends and kids when at home.

Wall, who played for the LA Clippers last season, averaged 11.4 points and 5.2 assists per game. Although he’s been out of professional basketball for almost two years, Wall remains committed to staying in shape, working out regularly at the University of Miami. He understands the reality of injuries in basketball, having faced several setbacks over the years, including a torn Achilles tendon in 2019 and a hamstring strain in 2021.

Despite the challenges, Wall is determined to return to the NBA and go out on his own terms. He recalled his All-Star years with the Washington Wizards, saying, “The time I had, I enjoyed. I get frustrated at times. But God don’t make no mistakes.” Wall is open to broadcasting opportunities but remains focused on his goal of finishing his playing career the way he wants. With the NBA trade deadline approaching on February 6, Wall is ready for a call to return to the court.
