Randy Wittman strongly refuted a report from Michael Lee of the Washington Post in regards to John Wall's hand injury.

"Wall clashed with team medical staffers before sitting out Tuesday because he felt something more serious had caused his hand to explode. After a few days of confusion and concern, Wall got the confirmation of bone fractures," Lee wrote.

With swelling to his hand, an accurate diagnosis to Wall's injury had been difficult.

"I have to get this off my chest," began Wittman during his Friday media availability. "You guys that know me know I'm completely honest with you guys. I don't always tell you everything, but I don't ever come out here and tell you a lie. And what was reported today by Michael Lee was a flat-out lie about John clashing with doctors and the training staff. That's unfair to this kid. That is so far from the truth, I've got to say something. Your inside source is obviously not on the inside. Our doctors are busting their ass to have something like that said. That's not right. I have to stand up for those people in there."
