John Wall and the Houston Rockets will reach an acquisition agreement that will allow him to become a free agent without restrictions, according to Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports. Once on the open market, he will sign with the Los Angeles Clippers, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski. Wall, the former All-Star point guard, did not play last season as the Rockets tried to trade him. When this proved impossible, the two sides turned to redemption.

Wall has only played 72 games in the last four seasons due to a combination of injuries and Houston’s reluctance to use him. Their loss is the gain of the Clippers.

Even in an unfavorable situation in Houston, when we last saw him in 2021, he averaged 20.6 points and 6.9 assists per game. There is still a productive player in there. Now, Wall will have a chance to prove it to the Clippers.
