Wall finished with 23 points (5-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 13-18 FT), 14 assists, three rebounds, one steal and one block across 37 minutes during Tuesday's 113-99 loss to the Mavericks.
EDGE Analysis
Wall set a season-high 18 free-throw attempts Tuesday, a mark he eclipsed just once last season. Aside from that, it was a relatively typical game for the All-Star, who was averaging 20.5 points, 10.4 assists, 3.4 rebounds, 1.3 steals and 1.1 blocks per game on the year coming into the contest.

Wall (shoulder) will start at point guard for Tuesday's matchup with the Mavericks, Candace Buckner of the Washington Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wall was held out of Sunday's game against the Raptors because of a left shoulder sprain, but made enough progress in his recovery over the last few days to ultimately be cleared for Tuesday. He'll take over his usual role as the starting point guard and doesn't appear to be on any sort of restrictions. That should send Tim Frazier back to a bench role in the corresponding move.

Wall (shoulder) is probable for Tuesday's game against the Mavericks.
EDGE Analysis
Wall missed Sunday's game against Toronto due to a left shoulder sprain. He's apparently feeling significantly better, however, and is likely to play Tuesday. Though his efficiency hasn't been on par with last season, he's still posting an impressive 20.5 points, 10.4 assists, 3.4 rebounds, 1.3 steals and 1.1 blocks per contest.

Wall (shoulder) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Raptors, David Aldridge of NBA.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wall suffered the injury during Friday's loss to the Cavaliers, but the official diagnosis is just a sprain, so he shouldn't be in line for an extended absence. Still, it will cost him at least Sunday's game and his next opportunity to play will be Tuesday against the Mavericks. Backup point guard Tim Frazier is also questionable with a sprained left wrist, though he'll likely start if cleared to play. If Frazier sits out as well, look for Tomas Satoransky to potentially pick up the start, though Bradley Beal could potentially be forced to take on more ball-handling responsibility as well.

Wall (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Toronto, the Washington Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wall banged shoulders with Channing Frye in Friday's loss to the Cavaliers and underwent an X-ray after the game, which returned negative. However, the point guard is still in significant pain and speculated that he may have sustained a stinger. "I feel like [Frye] threw a shoulder into mine because I've split screens before and hit somebody's shoulder and their body and never had that type of injury," Wall said Friday. "I think his impact and the way he was coming kind of gave me a stinger." Regardless of the official diagnosis, the team will wait until shootaround Sunday to issue an update. In the event Wall is ruled out, Tim Frazier would be in line for increased minutes.

An X-ray on Wall's left shoulder came back negative, but he was seen wearing a sling leaving the arena, Brian Windhorst of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
This is good news for the Wizards, as Wall appears to have avoided anything serious. Still, he'll likely have the shoulder reevaluated at some point over the next few days and it remains unclear if he'll be good to go in time for Sunday's matchup with the Raptors. The fact that Wall was in a sling brings at least some concern over his availability moving forward, so continue to monitor his status over the weekend.

Wall scored 13 points (4-13 FG, 0-3 3PT, 5-12 FT) to go along with six rebounds, 15 assists, one steal and one block over 38 minutes in Friday's 130-122 loss to Cleveland.
EDGE Analysis
Wall still managed to dish out 15 assists while playing through a left shoulder sprain. The Washington point guard's scoring potential was obviously hampered by the injury. Owners will be able to determine Wall's status for Sunday's game against Toronto after the result of the pending X-ray is revealed.

Wall suffered a left shoulder sprain during Friday's game against the Cavaliers, but played through it and posted 13 points (4-13 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 5-12 FT), six rebounds, 15 assists, one steal and four turnovers across 37 minutes. He's slated to undergo an X-ray Friday after the game, Candace Buckner of the Washington Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wall struggled offensively for much of the night, but was solid with his all-around production and was able to get his teammates involved at a high rate. He took a shot to the shoulder on a screen during the second half and while Wall didn't leave the game, he's still slated to have a precautionary X-ray to make sure there's nothing more serious at hand. Look for another update following the test, but tentatively consider Wall questionable for Sunday's game against the Raptors.

Wall scored 19 points (7-12 FG, 5-6 3Pt) while adding nine assists, two rebounds, a steal and a block in 26 minutes during Sunday's 110-83 win over the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
The Wizards were ahead by 31 at the half, leading to a lighter workload for Wall and the starters than they would normally see on the final night of their west-coast swing. Assuming he doesn't get the fourth quarter off again, Wall should return to his usual double-double form Tuesday at home against a Suns squad allowing a league-worst 28.4 points per game to opposition point guards.

Wall scored 20 points (7-20 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 4-6 FT) while adding 14 assists, two rebounds, a steal and a block in 38 minutes during Friday's 120-117 loss to the Warriors.
EDGE Analysis
The All-Star point guard hasn't found his shot in the early days of the season, as his 36.8 percent field-goal shooting and 19.0 percent three-point shooting attest, but Wall is still finding a way to pile up the counting stats. Expect his efficiency to rise as the season progresses, especially once Markieff Morris (abdomen) returns to action and the Wizards' starting five is back at full strength.
