Wizards' John Wall (rest) will sit out Friday's game versus Hawks

Washington Wizards point guard John Wall will not play versus the Atlanta Hawks on Friday in order to rest.

What It Means:

Wall gets the night off on the second leg of a back-to-back after the Wizards fell to the Cleveland Cavaliers in dramatic fashion on Thursday night. Tomas Satoransky will once again start in Wall's place.

Through 40 appearances this season, Wall is averaging 19.2 points, 3.6 rebounds and 9.5 assists in 34.3 minutes per game.
