John Wall officially announced his retirement and closed the chapter on a remarkable career that defined an era of Wizards basketball.
The 2010 NBA Draft is now down to just one active player in Philadelphia 76ers forward Paul George, as the first-overall pick from the class, John Wall, announced his retirement from basketball on Tuesday. At his peak, Wall was a Top 5 point guard in the NBA, but unfortunately, injuries got the best of him.
Washington selected Wall at No. 1 overall in 2010 after he spent one season with the Kentucky Wildcats. He was part of head coach John Calipari's first recruiting class in 2009. The five-time NBA All-Star's last action in the league came during the 2022-23 campaign when he appeared in 34 games for the LA Clippers.
