Wizards point guard John Wall's right knee suffered no structural damage in the injury that forced him from Sunday's loss to the Mavericks, The Washington Post reported.
Wall said the knee was sore, but an X-ray didn't show any structural damage, The Post reported, citing an unidentified person with knowledge of the situation.

His status for Monday's game against the Heat remained unclear as of Monday morning.
Wall was injured Sunday when he banged knees with Mavs forward Jeremy Evans late in the fourth quarter. Wall gingerly left the floor with teammates' help, not putting any weight on the leg.
“I tried to take a step to go contest, and I didn’t have the strength and I just stopped,” said Wall, who said that the right knee was already bruised before the injury.
He was walking with a slight limp after the game and traveled with the team to Miami, where he'll be reevaluated Monday.
The two-time All-Star has been playing his best basketball of the season, averaging 28.7 points and 10 assists over the Wizards' past three games. He is averaging 18.4 points and 8.0 assists for the season.
Already dealing with a short roster, the Wizards — who played Sunday with just 10 available players for the third time in eight games — will be shorthanded again Monday against the Heat.
