John Wall insists hand is fine

Washington Wizards point guard John Wall has insisted that his injured left hand is fine after playing in game five against the Atlanta Hawks.

Wall had 15 points on 7-of-16 shooting, but struggled with his outside shot despite impressing when attacking the basket and finishing.

"My hand feels fine, it feels perfectly fine," he told reporters.

"On the last play, just tried to make a play at the ball and block the shot but saw [Al] Horford grab it and put it in."

The Wizards star suffered multiple bone fractures in his left hand last week, and has been listed as questionable for game six which is back in Washington on Friday.
