In his first year with the Rockets after coming over from Washington in the Russell Westbrook trade, Wall emerged as a leader of a young Rockets squad. Coming off devastating heel and Achilles injuries, Wall hadn’t played a game since December of 2018 before this season. But this year, in 40 games, Wall averaged 20.6 points, 3.2 rebounds, and 6.9 assists.
The Rockets currently have 11 games remaining in their 2020-21 season with a league-worst 15-46 record.
