Wright (COVID-19 protocols) is no longer in protocols ahead of Monday's game against the Trail Blazers.
EDGE Analysis
It was a short stint in protocols for the veteran, who last played on Christmas. It seems likely he'll be available Monday.

Wright won't be available for Monday's game against the Bulls after entering the NBA's COVID-19 health and safety protocols, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
With Trae Young already in the protocols, Wright had started the past three games while averaging 11.3 points, 5.3 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 2.0 triples and 1.7 steals in 35.7 minutes. He looked primed for another big-minute role Monday, but instead, Wright is now due to miss time after becoming the 11th Hawks player to be placed in the protocols. Atlanta still has 10 players available -- two above the league-required minimum -- so Monday's game is still expected to be played as scheduled. Look for Skylar Mays and Cat Barber to absorb most of the minutes at point guard until at least one of Young or Wright is cleared to play.

Wright accumulated 20 points (8-13 FG, 4-5 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists, one block and three steals across 34 minutes during Saturday's 101-87 loss to New York.
EDGE Analysis
Wright put on an excellent Christmas Day showing and secured a new season high with 20 points. He also matched his season-high three steals. He'll likely remain in the starting five as long as Trae Young (COVID-19 protocols) is sidelined.

Wright (ankle) will be available for Saturday's Christmas Day game against the Knicks, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wright left Thursday's matchup with the 76ers early due to an ankle injury. He subsequently drew a probable designation ahead of Saturday's game and will unsurprisingly give it a go.

Wright (ankle) is probable for Saturday's Christmas Day matchup against the Knicks, Brad Rowland of PeachtreeHoops.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wright exited Thursday's game against the 76ers due to the ankle issue, but it's seemingly minor. He's started the past two games and has averaged 7.0 points, 6.0 rebounds, 5.0 assists and 1.0 steals in 36.5 minutes.

Wright (ankle) won't return to Thursday's contest against the 76ers, Sarah K. Spencer of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wright had to be helped off the court after appearing to step on an opponent's foot. The Hawks' are without seven players due to COVID-19 protocols, so Wright's absence will likely force newly acquired Lance Stephenson and Malcolm Hill into bigger roles for the remainder of the contest.

Wright accumulated nine points (4-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt), seven rebounds, four assists and two steals in 39 minutes during Wednesday's 104-98 loss to Orlando. He also had four turnovers.
EDGE Analysis
The opposing backcourt of Hassani Gravett and Gary Harris set up a promising stage for Wright in the absence of Trae Young (COVID-19 protocols). However, Wright was quiet offensively. Young is likely to miss more time, making Wright an option for depleted managers in deeper leagues.

Wright had zero points (0-2 FG), three rebounds, three assists and one block in 16 minutes during Friday's 105-96 loss to Denver.
EDGE Analysis
Wright has virtually disappeared off the fantasy landscape since arriving in Atlanta, even with the Hawks battling through a few injuries. His playing time is just not sufficient at this point and so despite his proven upside, managers need not waste their time looking for production that just isn't there.

Wright had seven points (3-5 FG, 1-1 3Pt), five rebounds and three assists in Wednesday's win over New Orleans.
EDGE Analysis
The backup point guard has been seeing consistent minutes off the bench behind Trae Young to begin the season, but he's not playing quite enough to warrant attention in most fantasy leagues. Wright would likely need an injury to Young, Bogdan Bogdanovic or Kevin Huerter to move into a larger role.
