John Wall and the Wizards received some good news on Friday after his visit with orthopedic specialist David Altchek showed that his left knee is getting better and he can increase his level of basketball activity.

“John’s examination today showed improvement in his stress injury that will allow him to begin ramping up his activity level,” Altchek said in a statement released by the team. “There is still some irritation in the knee which we have treated over his last several visits with a series of three lubricating Synvisc injections, the last of which was given today. He will continue to be evaluated on an ongoing basis.”
