John Wall joined the Los Angeles Clippers after getting released from the Houston Rockets. A few years ago, he was one of the best players in the NBA. But injuries have been a major issue for him and has missed multiple seasons. But this year, Wall has been a great addition to the team as he slowly looks like his old self.
Against the Jazz, Wall continued to impress, and he had a huge highlight at the end of the first quarter. With only seconds left on the clock, Wall got the ball up and he threw up a half-court heave. And he drained the shot right at the buzzer.
