For the first time in more than four years, John Wall is playing a game in Washington.
He’s doing so in a Los Angeles Clippers uniform, but the fans in the nation’s capital have not forgotten what he meant to the franchise and city — he got a standing ovation to go with the video tribute to him (which can be seen above).

Wall had an impressive first half with 11 points, including a bucket and letting the Washington fans know whose city this is.
