John Wall isn't happy about the Wizards losing a national TV appearance

Published Dec. 29, 2016 1:53 p.m. ET

The Wizards came into this season with just five scheduled appearances on national television, but they're now down to four after ESPN bumped Washington's contest against Boston on Jan. 11 and replaced it with a more appealing Grizzlies-Thunder matchup.

Washington point guard John Wall was less than pleased with the decision.

Wall expanded on his comments in an interview with The Washington Post, and explained how this is just another example of his Wizards not getting the national exposure that he believes his team deserves.

“I know you got to be able to win,” Wall said. “We didn’t get off to a great start [like] we wanted to, but we do have an all-star that’s been in the All-Star Game three times: me. And hopefully I can be [an all-star] again, and hopefully we can add Brad [Beal] and somebody else. We had five [national games] at the beginning of the year, and now we have four. And you never know, they might take another one. I feel like it’s back to what I said before: If you don’t have League Pass or NBA TV, you don’t see the Wizards.”
