Empty performance Wednesday Wright racked up three points (1-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-4 FT), one rebound and two assists over 14 minutes during Wednesday's 112-104 loss to the Pacers.
Impact Wright failed to have an impact in the loss, scoring just three points in 14 minutes. Typically viewed as a steals specialist, Wright has failed to accumulate a single steal in each of the three past games. He is averaging 1.1 steals over the past month, meaning managers can likely find a more reliable option on a lot of waiver wires.

Available to play Wright (quadriceps) is available for Monday's game against the Thunder.
Impact Wright was carrying a questionable tag prior to this update, but he was able to play in both games of Washington's most recent back-to-back on Friday and Saturday. His role has been limited to begin the new year, and he's averaging 3.0 points, 3.0 assists, 2.3 rebounds and 2.0 steals in 17.0 minutes over the past three games.

Questionable for Monday Wright is questionable for Monday's game against Oklahoma City due to a left quad contusion, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.
Impact Wright logged his normal workload in both halves of Washington's back-to-back set Friday and Saturday, but he seemingly picked up a quad contusion along the way.

Impact Wright returned to action Tuesday following a 20-game absence due to a right knee sprain, totaling seven points, four rebounds, an assist and a steal in 13 minutes.

Upstart return Wright (knee) has been cleared for action Tuesday against Orlando.
Impact Wright was entirely removed from the injury report Tuesday following a 20-game absence due to right knee sprain. Returning alongside Johnny Davis (calf) ends the only multi-game absences for Washington, bringing the rotation to full health. Prior to spraining his knee, Wright had averaged 5.8 points, 2.0 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 1.6 steals in 16.8 minutes across his last five contests. He'll likely slot into a similar role given that Tyus Jones has been sharp orchestrating the offense, posting 17.8 points and 8.0 rebounds over his last five games.

Set to miss 4-6 weeks The Wizards announced Saturday that Wright (knee) will miss approximately 4-6 weeks, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
Impact Wright was slated to miss at least the next two games due to a knee injury he sustained Friday against the Hornets, and he's facing a multi-week absence after being diagnosed with an MCL sprain in his right knee. Landry Shamet and Johnny Davis are candidates to see increased run over the next few weeks.

Hits for 18 in win Wright ended Wednesday's 132-116 victory over the Hornets with 18 points (4-5 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 8-8 FT), three rebounds, three assists and four steals over 26 minutes off the bench.
Impact Three different members of Washington's second unit dropped 15 points or more on a night in which the Wizards' bench out-scored their Hornets counterparts 72-23. Wednesday's effort was the first time this season Wright had even scored in double digits, and despite his good shooting night he still carries a sluggish 37.0 percent field-goal percentage. The Wizards seem committed to Tyus Jones as their starting point guard, but Wright isn't putting much pressure on him for the job.

Uninvolved Monday Wright finished with four points (2-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt) over five minutes during Monday's 146-128 loss to the 76ers.
Impact Wright entered Monday's contest averaging 19.0 minutes per game, but he was phased out of the rotation against Philadelphia. Wright has credibility as a streamer for steals, but it will likely take an injury to Washington's backcourt or a trade to put him in a role with worthwhile minutes.
NOVEMBER 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Three steals off bench Wright ended with eight points (3-8 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six rebounds, six assists and three steals across 25 minutes during Wednesday's 143-120 loss to the Pacers.
Impact While Tyus Jones will be the Wizards' starting point guard, Wright is a name to monitor in deeper leagues due to his penchant for high-volume steals. Last season, Wright averaged 1.8 steals per game and led the NBA in steal percentage among players who appeared in at least 50 games.
