John Wall May Have To Sit Out A Few Games

John Wall

Eligibility issues for John Wall.  I didn’t see that one coming.  Oh wait, yeah I did.  To refresh your memory, Brian Clifton was Wall’s AAU coach and was also a formerly registered agent.  As far as we know, Brian Clifton never gave anything of significant monetary value to Wall, so Wall should be in the clear on that front.  If there are any ramifications, it is likely that Wall will have to sit out 2-3 games (most likely against teams that an intramural squad could put up a fight against) and pay back Clifton for some of the expenses he covered at the AAU program (like food, travel, and jerseys).
