John Wall unlikely to play back-to-back games early in the season
It is unlikely Wall will play back-to-back games to start the year, sources said. He had a strong exhibition campaign, but Jackson has continuity with the personnel from his two-plus seasons with the team.

When John Wall got to the Clippers, he mentioned multiple times how he won’t have to be Batman anymore.

So there’s a chance that on Thursday, the backup point guards in Clippers-Lakers are John Wall and Russell Westbrook. – 8:49 PM

Ty Lue on Reggie Jackson-John Wall point guard competition: “Whoever is the best fit for the team. Whoever’s best with the starters, whoever’s best with the guys off the bench and it could always change. Right now it’s just whatever’s best for the team, what’s the best fit.” – 2:34 PM

Ty Lue smiled and played coy today when asked what made him say after Wednesday’s unfocused loss that that he was unsure who would start at point guard. (“Sometimes I get mad,” he said.)
Lue did say that competition is limited to Reggie Jackson and John Wall. Best fit wins. – 2:25 PM

Marcus Morris Sr. said he feels the Clippers’ camaraderie is improved this season, and when asked why, he mentioned the presence of John Wall and the addition of his aggressive, talkative nature to an otherwise pretty quiet roster. – 2:16 PM

Tyronn Lue confirms that the starting point guard will either be Reggie Jackson or John Wall.
Whoever is the best fit for the team. And Lue is undecided about that final decision. But it will be one of those two vets. – 1:22 PM

The Los Angeles Clippers are expected to name Reggie Jackson the starting point guard to open up the 2022-23 season, league sources told Yahoo Sports. Jackson was in a preseason battle with five-time All-Star John Wall for the starting point guard nod. -via Yahoo! Sports / October 16, 2022
John Wall on returning to DC since he was traded: ‘I never had the opportunity to be back and play in front of fans. So hopefully I’ll get that big stand ovation that I think I deserve. My ultimate goal was trying to bring the championship. Everything I gave to that city, like playing through my injuries, giving back to the community… I felt it like a second home to me.’ -via YouTube / October 14, 2022
