Washington Wizards point guard John Wall issued an apology to his family, teammates and supporters after a video surfaced of him with questionable behavior.

First and foremost I want to apologize to my family, my teammates and all of those that have always supported me. I made a mistake, something I regret. I will continue to work hard to be better on the court and more importantly off the court.
