Wight (ankle) was limited during Friday's practice, Sarah K. Spencer of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wright started Wednesday's exhibition contest, but he tweaked his ankle and was unable to return. The 29-year-old was able to warm up during Friday's practice, but he wasn't able to do any live work. It's encouraging to see him back on the court so quickly, but he will likely be held out of Saturday's contest against the Grizzlies.

Wright is starting at point guard for the Hawks for Wednesday's preseason matchup against Cleveland, Brad Rowland of PeachtreeHoops.com reports
EDGE Analysis
With star point guard Trae Young (quad) ruled out after taking a knee to the quad in Monday's opener, Wright is getting the start in his place. The 29-year-old was traded from Kings to the Hawks over the offseason, and the fact that he is starting in the place of Young bodes well for his standing as the Hawks' backup point guard heading into the regular season.

Wright was traded from the Kings to the Hawks on Friday in exchange for Tristan Thompson, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
With the Kings drafting Davion Mitchell, Wright's role was in jeopardy, so he's been moved to the Hawks so Sacramento could shore up its center depth with Thompson. However, Wright still ends up in a crowded backcourt with the Hawks that features Trae Young, Bogdan Bogdanovic and Kevin Huerter. At best, Wright could end up in a sixth-man role. At worst, he could see fewer than 20 minutes per game and be essentially irrelevant in fantasy.

Wright mustered 21 points (8-11 FG, 5-7 3Pt), eight assists, four rebounds and four steals across 33 minutes in Tuesday's win over the Thunder.
EDGE Analysis
Another start, another impressive performance from Wright -- he ended just two assists away from putting up a double-double and has dished out at least five dimes in seven straight appearances. He's averaging 17.8 points, 7.2 assists, 7.0 rebounds and 3.2 steals per game in five starts this month.

Wright tallied 15 points (6-10 FG, 3-6 3Pt), seven rebounds, five assists and one steal in 32 minutes during Sunday's 126-98 win over the Thunder.
EDGE Analysis
Wright has been on a roll over his last six games, averaging 15.5 points, 6.7 assists, 6.5 rebounds, 2.5 steals, 1.8 blocks and 1.8 three-pointers while shooting 52 percent from the field. The 29-year-old's role and usage will inevitably shrink once De'Aaron Fox (COVID-19 health and safety protocols) is ready to rejoin the lineup, but until then, Wright should continue to feast as the Kings' starting point guard.

Wright scored 17 points (8-16 FG, 1-3 3Pt) while adding nine assists, seven rebounds and a steal in 39 minutes during Friday's loss to the Spurs.
EDGE Analysis
It was a big night for former Raptors in the Kings backcourt, as Wright and Terence Davis combined for 41 points, 10 boards, 10 dimes and four steals. Wright has scored in double digits in five straight games, averaging 15.6 points, 7.0 assists, 6.4 rebounds, 2.8 steals, 1.6 threes and 1.2 blocks over that stretch, but his role will shrink as soon as De'Aaron Fox (COVID-19 protocols) is ready to rejoin the lineup.

Wright had 23 points (8-14 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), seven rebounds, six assists, six steals and a block across 40 minutes in Wednesday's win over the Pacers.
EDGE Analysis
Wright ended as the Kings' second-best scorer behind Marvin Bagley, but he also led the team in both assists and steals while ending just three rebounds away from a double-double. The former Utah product has scored in double digits in four straight contests but has been thriving as a stat-filling machine in that span -- he's averaging 15.3 points, 6.5 assists, 6.3 rebounds, 3.3 steals and 1.5 blocks per game in that span.
