John Wall is healthy and thinks the Washington Wizards, if they can avoid the injury bug, will make the postseason for the first time since 2008.

"The goal is the playoffs," Wall told ESPN.com. "We've got the pieces."

Wall said that the addition of Al Harrington was "huge" and that the 33-year-old veteran may be the missing piece for the Wizards to get to the postseason. Harrington signed on Aug. 14 after the Orlando Magic waived him.

"We got what we needed with Al Harrington," Wall said. "He looks healthy, and to bring in a true veteran who knows what it takes to win was important for us."

However, injuries have already hit the Wizards. Starting big man Emeka Okafor is out indefinitely with a herniated disc, and reserve forward Chris Singleton will miss six to eight weeks with a broken bone in his foot.

"That's the only thing that can hold us back: health," Wall said.

Wall missed the first 33 games last season because of a knee injury. By the time he returned, Washington was 5-28. The Wizards went 24-25 with Wall in the lineup, and he averaged 18.5 points and 7.6 assists in the 49 games. He said he has added strength, is up to 205 pounds (he was listed at 195 last season) and feels 100 percent healthy heading into training camp.
