Wright aggravated his groin injury in Friday's game against the Spurs and has been ruled out from returning.
EDGE Analysis
Wright missed the previous five games with a groin injury, and it looks like he may have rushed back a bit early. Jarell Martin figures to benefit with backup center minutes behind Marc Gasol with Wright sidelined. His status for Saturday's game versus the Cavaliers is unknown at this time.

Wright (groin) will play in Friday's game against the Spurs, Ronald Tillery of The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wright has missed the last five games due to a groin injury, but after participating in Friday's morning shootaround, the big man is set to return. Wright is expected to serve as Marc Gasol's primary backup at center, pushing Deyonta Davis into a deeper bench role.

EDGE Analysis

Wright (groin) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Trail Blazers.
EDGE Analysis
Wright suffered a groin injury in the second quarter of Saturday's game and was unable to return. The Grizzlies haven't issued any sort of update on the severity, though with the team heading into the second night of a back-to-back, Wright will understandably remain on the sidelines. His next opportunity to play will be Wednesday against the Mavericks, though in the meantime, Jarell Martin could pick up more minutes as a reserve in the frontcourt.

Wright scored 13 points (4-7 FG, 5-6 FT) to go along with nine rebounds, two assists, one steal and four blocks over 25 minutes in Saturday's 113-104 win against the Clippers.
EDGE Analysis
Wright collected a team-high nine rebounds while coming off of the bench on Saturday. The Memphis center also amassed season-highs in points (13) and blocks (4) to round out an all-around impressive performance against the Clippers. Wright will look to prove that this excellent stat night was no fluke when the Grizzlies face the Lakers on Sunday.

Wright had two points (1-1 FG), four rebounds, and one steal in 11 minutes during Saturday's 111-101 win over the Warriors.
EDGE Analysis
After posting 10 points and four boards in 27 minutes during Wednesday's regular season opener versus the Pelicans, Wright saw his playing time evaporate on Saturday despite the absence of starter JaMychal Green (ankle). Wright is still a threat to see 20-plus minutes against teams like the Pelicans that pair two traditional big men together, especially while Green remains sidelined for the next few weeks. Nevertheless, Wright is merely one of Marc Gasol's backups against clubs that primarily play small ball.
