    Washington Wizards guard John Wall will undergo surgery on his left heel, the team announced Saturday. Shams Charania of The Athletic and Stadium first reported Wall was contemplating undergoing the procedure.

    The Wizards said in their press release Wall will miss the remainder of the 2018-19 season: "The procedure will be performed by Dr. Robert Anderson in Green Bay, Wisconsin, next week on a day to be determined. Wall is expected to return to full basketball activity in approximately six to eight months."

    Charania added Wall "tried to battle through the pain in his injured heel" to help get the Wizards' season back on track. Candace Buckner of the Washington Post reported "Wall has been dealing with this issue for years" and that the pain became "intolerable" this season. Tom Haberstrohof NBC Sports reported Wall has a bone spur sticking into his Achilles tendon, and that surgery would shave the spur down.
