It's no secret that former All-Star John Wall wants to leave the Rockets, and the two sides have reached an agreement before this season not to play games, but because of Wall's contract problems, the Rockets simply can't push for a deal involving Wall before the deal deadline.
Because of this, Wall, who still has player options for the 2022-23 season on his contract, will also be on the shelves again this offseason. Surprisingly, however, Wall's old club wizards appeared on the list of potential next family members. According to the US media David Aldridge, if there is this opportunity, Wall will accept the idea of returning to the Wizards:
The Wizards are also a troubled team, and if Wall can return to the Wizards and partner Bill and Porzingis, this may be a combination worth considering.
On the other hand, Lakers head coach Frank Vogel praised Rockets rising star Jaylen Green ahead of the game against the Rockets:
"I love this kid's game, he's going to be a star player."
Jaylen Green has indeed performed very well in recent times, and the praise received by Vogel is enough to prove that Jaylen Green is still the player who is favored by many people.
Finally, it needs to be talked about that the Rockets' injury report before the game against the Lakers was also released. According to Rockets coach Stephen Silas, neither Christian Wood nor Jesshaw Tate will play against the Lakers, and Grayson Matthews can play, and Dennis Schroeder's playing time is determined by the game situation:
For the Rockets, it doesn't matter if they can beat the Lakers, what may be more important is the performance of the young players in their squad.
