Five-Time NBA All-Star is Global Ambassador for McDavid HEX® Padded Apparel
FOUNTAIN VALLEY, Calif. , Aug. 17, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- McDavid, a global leader in sports medicine products and maker of best-selling McDavid HEX® padded basketball apparel, is excited to announce a partnership with NBA superstar John Wall . A five-time NBA All-Star, Wall has worn McDavid HEX® padded apparel throughout his professional basketball career and will now be a global ambassador for the HEX® product line. This includes promoting the McDavid HEX® padded leg and arm sleeves, which are part of Wall's uniform on the court.
"I never play without McDavid," said Wall, who recently joined the Los Angeles Clippers for the 2022-23 season. "They're obsessed with protection and performance, just like me. I've been fortunate to work closely with McDavid's product development team on HEX® padded apparel and it's definitely given me an edge during my career.
"I'm excited to partner with McDavid and promote what makes HEX® so important for me on the court, and why it can be the best padded protection for any basketball player."
