Moses Wright to miss Georgia Tech's first-round game in NCAA men's basketball tournament, sources say

Georgia Tech star Moses Wright, the ACC player of the year, will miss the Yellow Jackets' first-round game against Loyola Chicago in the NCAA men's basketball tournament, sources told ESPN on Wednesday night.

Wright also likely will be out if Tech beats Loyola Chicago and advances to face the winner of Illinois-Drexel, sources said.

A 6-foot-9 senior big man, Wright was playing as well as anyone in the country over the last few weeks of the regular season. He had 26 points and 10 rebounds against Virginia Tech, followed by 31 points and 16 rebounds against Syracuse, then he went for 29 points, 14 rebounds, five assists and three blocks in a win over Duke.
