Los Angeles Clippers guard John Wall has been through tough times in the last two years, and while opening up about them recently, he admitted that he contemplated suicide.

Wall has had to deal with things personally and professionally, like tearing his Achilles in 2019 while his mother battled and succumbed to cancer the same year. He sat out all of last season with the Houston Rockets as well.

"Darkest place I’ve ever been in," Wall admitted during in interview with The Salvation Army that NBC Sports Washington shared. "At one point in time, I thought about committing suicide. Tearing my Achilles, my mom being sick, my mom passing, grandma passed a year later. All this in the midst of COVID at the same time. Me going to chemotherapy and sitting there. Me seeing my mom take her last breath, me wearing the same clothes for three days waiting on the couch beside her."

To get through these trying times, Wall thanked his support system and said that he sought help from a therapist.

"I don’t like to brag about [it]. Everybody goes through something," he said. "We all went through tough times, nobody got it easy. But I don’t think a lot of people could go through what I went through.

Now, Wall has gotten out of his "darkest place" and aiming to get back on the court and prove that he can still ball with the best of them at 31 years old.
