UPDATE: The Wizards declared John Wall out for Game 4. Coach Randy Wittman offered no additional update.

Wizards coach Randy Wittman called John Wall a “game-time decision” for Game 4 despite the fact that the point guard has still not dribbled a basketball since suffering a hand/wrist injury. It appears unlikely he will play tonight in the Eastern Conference semifinal series against the Hawks tonight.

Wall is officially listed as questionable on the team’s injury report. The All-Star point guard did not participate in the team’s shootaround Monday morning.

Wall missed Games 2 and 3 with five non-displaced fractures of his left hand and wrist suffered in Game 1 of the series. There has been quite a bit of swelling of the hand and Wall wore a soft cast in Game 3 Saturday.
