Was Gortat throwing shade at Wall in postgame tweet?

What's going on with the Washington Wizards?

After the team held on for a 122-119 victory over the Toronto Raptors on Thursday night without All-Star John Wall, Marcin Gortat tweeted the following:

Wall responded with an old-school manual retweet (and supposedly laughed out loud) before deleting the post.

The Wizards held a team meeting last week that apparently did more harm than good. They expect to be without their starting point guard for six-to-eight weeks after Wall underwent a procedure on his left knee this week.

The fifth-place club is riding a three-game winning streak, which began when Wall went back to the sidelines. Overall, Washington is 8-6 sans its floor general, with Bradley Beal emerging as the leader in his stead and earning his first All-Star nod.

For his part, Beal seemed to suggest there's nothing to this inter-squad Twitter beef.
