John Wall: 'Los Angeles Clippers still a great team without Chris Paul'

John Wall has insisted that the Los Angeles Clippers are still a great team, despite being without injured guard Chris Paul.

The 28-year-old has missed the majority of this month after being diagnosed with a separated shoulder.

Following the Washington Wizards' defeat to the Clippers last night, Wall told reporters: "It was our best opportunity to beat them, especially with Chris Paul out. But they're still a great team and they've been winning games. It's the same as you see without Chris in there. Those other guys play the same way. JJ Redick can shoot the ball and Jamal Crawford's one of the best at creating his own shots."

Paul has previously indicated that he is hoping to be able to play in next month's All-Star game.
