John Wall to miss at least two weeks with abdominal strain

The Clippers have revealed that reserve point guard John Wall has suffered an abdominal strain, per Brad Turner of The Los Angeles Times.

Turner adds that Wall is set to be reassessed in two weeks, meaning at minimum he will be out for that long. Ohm Youngmisuk of ESPN tweets that, in the interval, Reggie Jackson will now step in to replace Wall as the team’s primary backup point guard.

Wall, 32, had been playing competently through his 34 healthy games with L.A., though his shooting numbers were somewhat inefficient. He’s averaging 11.4 PPG on .408/.303/.681 in 22.2 MPG. Wall is also dishing out 5.2 APG and grabbing 2.7 RPG.

Wall has been open recently about the challenges he’s faced in dealing with a minutes limit and modifying his workout regimen since joining the Clippers.

In additional Clippers injury news, Turner also reveals that starting power forward Marcus Morris has incurred a left calf contusion and is considered day-to-day. Through 41 games this season, Morris holds averages of 13.3 PPG, 4.8 RPG and 1.7 APG. The 6’8″ big man boasts a slash line of .441/.382/.803.
