Wright has always had trouble with injuries, having only played in 28 games this regular season. After a slow start although, Wright has become a key piece inside and provided very good minutes for the Memphis Grizzlies. He has fit right in with the other bigs and seems to have solid chemistry already with the guards.
The Matchup Ahead
Wright has an interesting role against the San Antonio Spurs. More than likely, he’ll be playing a filler role. He can be subbed in and paired with any of Zach Randolph, JaMychal Green oe Marc Gasol. Defensively, he’ll probably see time guarding LaMarcus Aldridge, Dewayne Dedmon, David Lee and Pau Gasol.
