John Wall Wizards

John Wall was criticized on Twitter by one of the reporters covering the Washington Wizards, and he publicly acknowledged it with a response.

Candace Buckner, who covers the Wizards for the Washington Post, tweeted during Game 4 of the Wizards-Hawks series on Monday and threw some shade at Wall over his lack of defense on Atlanta’s Dennis Schroder.

Wall saw the tweet and responded with an “Lol.”

Lol RT @CandaceDBuckner: One day, Wall might actually try to defend Dennis Schroder.

Maybe.

Wizards center Marcin Gortat’s response was fantastic.

@JohnWall @CandaceDBuckner omg….u r MVP of all journalist in NBA !

— Marcin Gortat?? (@MGortat) April 25, 2017

Talk about awkward.

You think things are going to be a little weird in the locker room when Buckner is in there and approaches him to talk for a story next time? She just better hope he doesn’t give her the Russell Westbrook treatment.

Schroder had 18 points on 6 of 15 shooting in Atlanta’s 111-101 win.
