NBA star John Wall plans to finish college with Kentucky during injury rehab
John Wall計畫在復健的時間要回Kentucky完成大學學業
Washington Wizards star John Wall is going to miss approximately the next 12
months with a ruptured left Achilles tendon after slipping and falling in his
home.
華盛頓巫師明星球員John Wall因為在家滑倒摔傷，傷了左阿基里斯腱，估計得要缺席一年
的時間。
He's using that time to go back to school.
他要利用這一年重返學校。
Wall, who was drafted No. 1 overall by the Wizards in 2010 after one year at
Kentucky, said he’s going to use the time off from the injury as an
opportunity to finish college, according to The Athletic's Fred Katz, who
noted that Wall said he's close to graduating.
Wall是巫師在2010年以第一順位選秀選上的，那時他在Kentucky念書剛滿一年。他說他要
趁這復健一年的機會去完成學業，而根據The Athletic記者Fred Katz報導，Wall說他快要
可以畢業了。
Wall revealed at February's All-Star weekend last year that he promised his
dad, who died when Wall was 8 years old, that he would finish school.
Wall在去年二月全明星周的時候透露，他答應在他8歲就過世的爸爸，他會完成他的學業。
In a letter to his dad published in The Undefeated last January, Wall said,
"I know you’re proud of the man I’ve become. I’m the first in our family
to attend college, and although I have not yet completed my degree, it is a
goal that I hope to accomplish."
在去年一月Wall寫了一封信發表在The Undefeated上，他寫了，「我知道你會以我成為現
在的我為榮，我是我們家族第一個上大學的，雖然我沒還沒拿到學位，但是那會是我希望
達成的目標。」
Wall, a five-time All-Star, said Friday that he's in good spirits following
the injury diagnosis.
五屆全明星的Wall，星期五的時候說，在診斷傷勢之後，他現在的心情很好。
"Something I can't control," Wall said. "But my love for the game is still
there, and I'll come back and conquer this like it was just a little step in
the road."
「有些事情是我不能控制的，」Wall說。「但是我對籃球的熱愛仍在，所以我會回來的，
我會克服這一切，這就像是人生路上的一個小階梯而已。」
The Wizards are in 10th place in the Eastern Conference standings, and
without Wall, the odds of a playoff push are slim. They traded away two key
players, Otto Porter Jr. and Markieff Morris, before Thursday's trade
deadline.
巫師目前東區排名第10，沒有Wall在，巫師要打進季後賽的機會更加渺茫。在星期四的交
易大限前，他們把兩位重要球員，Otto Porter Jr.跟Markieff Morris交易走了。
