Wall, who recently announced his retirement from the NBA, went on to become the Wizards’ all-time leader in assists (5,282) and steals (976) while ranking fourth in franchise scoring with 10,879 points. His averages of 19.0 points and 9.2 assists per game made him one of the league’s top point guards during his prime.

The five-time NBA All-Star's last action in the league came during the 2022-23 campaign when he appeared in 34 games for the LA Clippers.
