On Sunday, John Wall attended the Mystics’ 86-62 win over the Wings. As you might expect, he was one of the most notable Mystics fans out at the Entertainment and Sports Arena that afternoon where he was rooting for Elena Delle Donne and his coach Kristi Toliver courtside and saying “Hi” to a friendly crowd.

But for the purposes of this post, it’s about more than his attendance.
Wall came to the game without a brace on his left heel where he suffered a ruptured left Achilles tendon last winter.

We’ve already seen him working out without the brace in late May. But it is encouraging that we are seeing him walk relatively well on his own accord yesterday. He had a limp when he left the game, but it wasn’t like he needed crutches or anything like that.
For those asking, here’s John Wall walking out of the arena. Slight limp/favoring. All together, good to see. #DCFamily @NBCSWizards pic.twitter.com/6Yusx9FLJ9

Wall wasn’t the only celebrity in attendance. Washington Redskins Senior Vice President of Player Personnel and former quarterback Doug Williams was also there. The two also sat next to each other during this game.
