Wright was bought out by the Grizzlies on Friday and subsequently agreed to join the Rockets, Tim MacMahon of ESPN.com
EDGE Analysis
With the Grizzlies embracing a youth movement, Wright has been out of the rotation since early January. He got his wish to be bought out and join a contender Friday. It remains to be seen what type of role he will have with the Rockets, but he figures to have a hard time cracking the rotation right away.

Wright contributed five points (2-3 FG, 1-4 FT), one rebound and one steal across 14 minutes in Wednesday's 105-101 loss to the Pacers.
EDGE Analysis
After being benched for three of the past four games solely based off the coach's decision, it was encouraging to see Wright receive double-digit minutes. The Grizzlies are ravaged by injuries, and even still, it is hard to see Wright gaining significant value moving forward.

Wright was a healthy scratch during Monday's 120-109 win over the Suns.
EDGE Analysis
Wright, who recently missed five games due to an illness, was removed from the injury report prior to last Monday's bout with the 76ers. However, he has appeared in just one of the four games since, posting four points, four rebounds, and one assist in 12 minutes during last Wednesday's 108-85 loss to the Spurs. Wright isn't bad when he's getting reliable run, but the Grizzlies are likely focusing on funneling playing time to their youngsters given that they are so far out of the playoff picture. As a result, Wright would probably benefit from a trade, though it's unclear how much interest other teams might have in acquiring him.

Wright (illness) is no longer listed on the injury report for Monday's game against the 76ers.
EDGE Analysis
Wright has sat out the last five games, mostly recently recovering from an illness over the weekend. However, with a few weeks off for rest, he now feels well enough to get back on the court. With four Grizzlies already ruled out and an additional three listed as questionable, Wright has a good chance of seeing an uptick in playing time off the bench Monday. That said, Marc Gasol is healthy and will take on his usual spot in the starting lineup, so Wright will likely continue to operate as his backup.

Wright (illness) will not play Saturday against the Pelicans.
EDGE Analysis
Wright has been battling an illness throughout the week, and while he was technically available for Friday's game against the Kings, he ultimately did not see the floor in the Grizzlies' 106-88 win. He's apparently still battling the illness heading into the weekend and will be held out Saturday. Consider the 30-year-old questionable for Monday's matchup with the Sixers.

Wright (illness) will be available to play during Friday's contest against the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
Despite not participating in shootaround, apparently Wright is feeling significantly better and will be able to take the floor Friday. He hasn't seen the floor over the past three games.

Wright (illness) did not participate in shootaround and is doubtful to play in Friday's game against the Kings, Michael Wallace of Grizzlies.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wright looks to be on pace to miss his second straight contest due to an illness and he remains without a clear timetable for a return. Marc Gasol, who also was absent Wednesday with an illness, is expected to play, however, and he should take on most of the minutes at center with Wright likely out of the lineup. Wright's next opportunity to return will be Saturday in New Orleans.

Wright (illness) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
Wright missed Wednesday's game with an illness and the Grizzlies will wait and see how he feels during Friday's morning shootaround before determining if he can make a return to the court. Marc Gasol (illness) is also questionable, so there could potentially be added minutes available if Wright were to be cleared. That said, if Gasol plays, Wright will remain off the fantasy radar in both season-long and DFS formats.

Wright has been ruled out of Wednesday's game against the Knicks for an undisclosed reason, Michael Wallace of Grizzlies.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
With Marc Gasol (illness) also ruled out, the Grizzlies will have to likely rely on a heavy dose of Deyonta Davis at center. Jarell Martin is also a candidate to see some extra run in the frontcourt.

Wright had eight points (3-5 FG, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, and one block in 10 minutes during Wednesday's 105-102 win over the Pelicans.
EDGE Analysis
Wright has seen double-digit minutes in 19 of 24 appearances this season. However, three of those single-digit helpings have come in the last five tilts. With the Grizzlies already falling out of the playoff race, it shouldn't be a surprise if the team opts to give younger big men like Deyonta Davis and Jarrell Martin a few extra minutes here and there. In other words, Wright should only be relied on to provide modest production in the very deepest leagues.
