Wall (knee) will sit out Wednesday against the Nets.

Analysis:

After playing in 36 consecutive games and averaging 37 minutes during that span, it appears the wear and tear has finally caught up to Wall, who will be forced to sit out while he contends with a sore knee. His absence likely isn't strictly for maintenance purposes, as the Wizards haven't officially been eliminated from the Eastern Conference playoff race and could certainly benefit from having Wall in the lineup at sub-optimal health. Team doctors evidently decided not to chance playing Wall, who will give way to Ramon Sessions at point guard. His next chance to play will come Friday against the Pistons.
