John Wall: Set for precautionary MRI on leg

Wall will undergo a precautionary MRI on Tuesday on the vastus medialis obliquus [VMO] muscle located just above his left knee, Jorge Castillo of The Washington Post reports.

Analysis:

Wall indicated he has played through soreness in the muscle in recent games, but believes he's only dealing with a bruise that has made his knee less flexible than normal. Even so, it hasn't seemed to hinder his effectiveness, as Wall submitted his third double-double (17 points, 10 assists) in four games while playing 35 minutes in Monday's 114-100 road win over the Bulls. Unless the MRI reveals a more serious issue than a bruise, Wall can be expected to start and log heavy playing time Wednesday against the Bucks.
