John Wall on joining Clippers: 'Don't have to be Batman every night for us to win'
In his first comments since officially signing a two-year, $13.2 million deal with LA, Wall believes he can help fill a missing component for the Clippers at point guard.
"I don't have to do it every night, I don't have to be Batman every night for us to win," Wall said on Saturday at the Las Vegas Summer League."That's the ultimate goal for me is [at] this part of my career, I don't want to have to be the Batman every night to try to win. On our team that we have, I think anyone can be Batman."
"When I get between those four lines, I don't have an injury, I don't think about it," Wall said of past injuries that include knee, Achilles' and heel issues."I go out there and compete. I work hard every day to try to get back to this position to be back in the league. The five-time All-Star, who averaged 20.6 points and 6.9 assists in 2020-21 for the Rockets, said he was looking to join a team with which he wouldn't have to carry the load and could thrive alongside talent.
