Wall (heel) will finalize a timetable for his season-ending surgery within the coming days, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wall has been dealing with heel pain for the past few years, and it's finally reached a point where the star point guard will go under the knife to resolve the issue. The six-to-eight month timetable means Wall will be out for the remainder of the 2018-19 campaign and will still be rehabbing over the summer with hopes of being completely healthy heading into his age 28 season. While he's out of the lineup, Tomas Satoransky will presumably be the Wizards' starting point guard and is worth a pickup in most fantasy formats. Bradley Beal should also see a noticable bump in usage. Despite playoff aspirations, Washington finds themselves 10 games under .500 and the 11th seed in the Eastern Conference prior to Saturday's games. Trade rumors regarding Beal and Otto Porter Jr. were prominent earlier in the year when the team was slow out of the gate, and it seems more likely than ever that the pair will be floated out in offers.

Wall (heel) is contemplating surgery, Candace Buckner of The Washington Post reports. If he were to go through with the procedure, Wall would be sidelined for six-to-eight months.

EDGE Analysis

This is a serious development for Wall and the Wizards, who have clear playoff aspirations following the offseason signing of Dwight Howard and the recent trade for veteran wing Trevor Ariza. It's not immediately clear what kind of recovery Wall would go through should he not elect for surgery, but he's been periodically missing games since early December. If the point guard chooses to go under the knife, his season would essentially be over. In that case, Tomas Satoransky would presumably take over as Washington's starting point guard.

Wall (heel) will not play Saturday against the Hornets.

EDGE Analysis

As expected, the Wizards will play it safe with Wall as he visits a specialist to address his heel injury. During Friday's game with Wall out, Tomas Satoransky started at point guard and played 39 minutes, while Bradley Beal posted 34 points, seven rebounds, five assists and two steals across 38 minutes.

Wall (heel) is doubtful for Saturday's game against the Hornets, Rick Bonnell of the Charlotte Observer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wall sat out Friday as he continues to nurse a heel injury, and the Wizards indicated that he'll meet with a specialist to further examine the issue. As such, the expectation is that Wall will remain out Saturday, which would be his third absence in the last five games.

Wall (heel) has been definitively ruled out for Friday's game against Chicago, Candace Buckner of The Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

There had been some mixed reports on Wall's status for Friday's contest after he missed shootaround, but the Wizards have made it official that their start point guard will indeed be held out. He'll have a chance to return in the second half of a back-to-back Saturday against Charlotte.

Wall is listed as out Friday against the Bulls due to a sore left heel.

EDGE Analysis

Despite earlier reports indicating Wall would play despite missing shootaround, the NBA's official injury report lists the point guard as out. With a game Saturday against the Hornets, it's possible the Wizards want Wall healthier for the more difficult game on the second half of a back-to-back. Assuming Wall is out, Tomas Satoransky would probably draw the start at point guard and make for a low-cost DFS option.

Wall didn't attend Friday's morning shootaround but he's still fully expected to play later in the night against Chicago, Fred Katz of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Wizards are labeling Wall's absence from shootaround as scheduled rest, which makes sense given that he's averaged just under 35 minutes per game so far in the month of December.

Wall notched 21 points (9-19 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT), eight assists, seven rebounds and one block across 38 minutes in Wednesday's 106-95 loss to the Pistons.

EDGE Analysis

Wall returned from an illness Sunday and posted just seven points, so seeing a 20-point game after his absence is encouraging. What is discouraging, however, is the turnovers that Wall has committed lately, as six turnovers is his lowest total in the last three games.

Wall (illness) will play in Sunday's game against the Pacers.

EDGE Analysis

Wall missed the last game for Washington with an illness, but as expected, he will play and start for Washington. Wall is averaging 21.2 points and 8.9 assists over 34.6 minutes per game.

The Wizards are listing Wall (illness) as probable for Sunday's game against the Pacers.

EDGE Analysis

The star point guard's availability is always welcome news for Washington, but especially so one day after 149-146 triple-overtime win over the Suns. Backcourt running mate Bradley Beal (54 minutes) and fill-in point guard Tomas Satoransky (48 minutes) both saw significant playing time and could be fatigued for the second half of the back-to-back set, so Wall might not necessarily be eased back in after a one-game absence due to the illness. The Wizards should confirm Wall's availability shortly before the 5 p.m. EST tipoff.
