All-Star point guard John Wall underwent surgery on both knees Thursday morning in Cleveland and will begin a rehabilitation process immediately, the Washington Wizards announced. Wall is expected to be ready for the start of next NBA season, but his status for training camp is unknown and he won't be available to play for Team USA in the Olympics this summer. Wall was one of 31 finalists for the 12-man roster headed to Rio de Janeiro in August but was considered a long shot to make the team. Wall had loose particles taken out of his right knee and calcium deposits removed from his left patellar tendon by orthopedic surgeon Dr. Richard D. Parker at the Cleveland Clinic Marymount. The right knee procedure — known as an arthroscopic lavage — is considered routine and relatively minor, but the operation on the left knee would've sidelined Wall for months had he undergone it during the season. In other news, Marc Eversley, the Wizards' vice president of scouting, has accepted a position with the Philadelphia 76ers to direct player personnel, according to people with knowledge of the situation.

Ravens: The team signed fifth-round draft pick Matt Judon of Grand Valley State, who led the nation with 20 sacks last year to go with 23 1/2 tackles for loss and three forced fumbles.
The Ravens' rookie minicamp starts Friday. It's probably unlikely the entire rookie class will be signed by then. However, with the slotting system, the rookie deals have become a formality.
Last year, the Ravens had their entire draft class signed within a week and a half after the draft.

More NFL: The Washington Redskins and tight end Jordan Reed agreed to a deal that will pay him in the $9 million to $10.5 million range per season over five years, a person with knowledge of the situation said. Reed caught 87 passes for 952 yards and 11 touchdowns last season.
Redskins officials wanted to sign Reed to a long-term deal and avoid letting him hit free agency next offseason.
Reed, a third-round pick out of Florida in 2013, also wanted to remain with Washington. The sides had engaged in talks throughout the offseason.
Reed fired his agent and hired Joel Segal earlier this spring in hopes that the change would make a difference.
The team announced Thursday morning that an agreement had been reached and tweeted a picture of the tight end signing his deal.
