John Wall injures knee in loss vs. Bucks, says he'll play All-Star Game

John Wall suffered a bruised right knee in the opening quarter of the Washington Wizards' loss to the Milwaukee Bucks on Thursday.

He played through the injury for the remainder of the game and he says he'll do the same for the All-Star Game in Toronto, according to Tim Bontemps of the Washington Post.

Wall was initially unsure of his status for Sunday's showcase.

"If I can't move and I need more time then I won't (play Sunday)," Wall said after the game Thursday, according to the The Washington Post's Jorge Castillo. "But it'll be frustrating not to."

Wall logged 42 minutes and earned his 30th double-double of the season with 15 points and 10 dimes.

"It's a deep bruise," Wall said of the injury. "As you can see, it's swollen. It hurts and I'll do as much treatment as I can on it."

The 25-year-old point guard received treatment on his knee at halftime and after the game. He attempted a season-high 12 shots from behind the arc, which he said was a result of the injury reducing his mobility.

Wall is just one of two players on the Wizards' roster (Ramon Sessions) to play in all 51 games this season. He's currently averaging 20 points (21st in the NBA), 9.9 assists (third), and 2.1 steals (fifth) in 36.1 minutes (seventh) per game.
