Wizards to rest Wall vs. Magic

Washington Wizards point guard John Wall will rest for Saturday's game against the Orlando Magic, according to Candace Buckner of the Washington Post.

Wall scored 21 points in nearly 33 minutes during Friday's win over the Atlanta Hawks.

The 6-foot-4 guard is off to a terrific start in 2016-17, averaging 22.3 points, 11.3 assists, 3.7 rebounds, and 2.7 steals on 45.3 percent shooting for the Wizards.

Backup point guard Trey Burke will likely start in Wall's absence.

After dropping their first three contests of the season, Washington will attempt to build off of Friday's win against a Magic team that's started the year 2-3.
