There was a sense of sadness in D.C. as the news broke that John Wall was traded for Russell Westbrook.
The trade involved the Wizards sending Wall and a protected 2023 first-round NBA draft pick to the Rockets in exchange for Westbrook, a deal that had been anticipated by both players and had been brewing for some time.
The Wizards’ fan base was disheartened by the trade as Wall held a significant place in their hearts and the city.
Mia Khalifa, a well-known John Wall supporter, took to Twitter to reveal her allegiance to the Rockets.
She also shared a video of herself seemingly emotional and shedding tears over the trade:
During his time with the Rockets, Westbrook was recognized as a third-team All-NBA player and had impressive statistics averaging 27.2 points, 7.9 rebounds, and 7.0 assists per game.
As for Wall, who is 30 years old, he has been sidelined since December 26, 2018, due to injuries to his Achilles tendon and knee.
