BOULDER — Barring any setbacks in the next couple of days, Colorado sophomore point guard McKinley Wright said Tuesday he expects to play Thursday when the Buffs play at Cal in a 9 p.m. game at Haas Pavilion.
Wright sat out last Sunday's game at Utah, a 79-68 Colorado loss, after a shoulder injury suffered the previous week against Washington. It was the first game he has missed as a Buff after playing in all 48 previous games in his career, with 47 starts.
Wright said he didn't want to rush coming back from the injury, with just six days in between games.
