John Wall played in his first NBA game in two years Thursday night after a prolonged recovery from two injuries, which the five-time All-Star said he thought at one point might not only end his basketball career but cause him to lose his foot.

โ€œIt was tough,โ€ Wall told Stadiumโ€™s Shams Charania prior to his 22-point, six-rebound, nine-assist performance in the Rocketsโ€™ win over the Kings. โ€œI went through three or four different infections. So it got to the point where, โ€˜OK, are you going to have to cut your foot off or not?โ€™ Thatโ€™s where it got real with me. The basketball aspect was, like, going to be east for me.

โ€œI feel like any rehab that comes in the first three or four months is the biggest key of anything, is how you attack it. So all of a sudden, I couldnโ€™t be a heavyweight. I had to be lighter weight.โ€ (NYPost)
