'I finally can jump': John Wall credits better health for improved shooting with Rockets

Through his first 12 games with the Rockets, John Wall is shooting a career-high clip of 37.3% on 3-pointers. In his last three outings, the five-time NBA All-Star is connecting on 61.1% of his long-range shots — and on high volume, too, at 6.0 attempts per game. Now 30 years old, the 6-foot-4 point guard says there’s a relatively simple explanation for his growth as a shooter: He’s healthy. As for the 2020-21 season, Wall is averaging 17.8 points and 5.8 assists in 29.9 minutes per game in Houston. That minutes total is the lowest of his NBA career, which could help him stay fresh over the long season
