Wright made his Kings debut Saturday night against the Cavs and posted four points (1-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-3 FT), three rebounds and two assists in 23 minutes.

EDGE Analysis

The Kings were able to upgrade their backcourt rotation at the deadline, adding Wright while sending Cory Joseph and future second-round picks back to Detroit. Wright has been a starting-caliber fantasy option for much of the year, but as the sixth man in Sacramento, he may be worth dropping in some leagues -- particularly if his workload settles in the low-20-minutes on most nights.

Wright (recent trade) is available Saturday against the Cavaliers, Sean Cunningham of ABC 10 Sacramento reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 28-year-old was acquired from the Pistons on Wednesday and will make his debut for the Kings on Saturday. Wright primarily started for Detroit and averaged 10.4 points, 5.0 assists, 4.6 rebounds and 1.6 steals in 36 games, but he should operate as a veteran option off the bench for Sacramento.

The Kings acquired Wright from the Pistons on Wednesday in exchange for Cory Joseph and two second-round picks, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's the fourth time Wright has been traded since inking the three-year, $28 million deal with the Grizzlies in 2019. The 28-year-old averaged 10.5 points, 5.1 assists, 4.6 rebounds and 1.5 steals in 35 games for Detroit prior to Wednesday's contest. Wright started at point guard with the Pistons, but he figures to operate as the top reserve in the backcourt behind starters De'Aaron Fox and Tyrese Haliburton for the Kings.

Wright totaled 18 points (7-12 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 10 rebounds, eight assists and two steals in 38 minutes during Wednesday's 116-112 victory over Toronto.

EDGE Analysis

Wright came to play against the Raptors, delivering his best performance since returning from a groin injury. He now ranks inside the top-70 this season and is looking more and more like the player we have been hoping to see over the past two seasons. The Pistons will be getting some fresh bodies on the floor in the next few weeks and so Wright could certainly see a decline coming at some point. However, it is hard to see him falling too far and so he should remain a must-roster player the rest of the way.

Wright scored eight points (4-11 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 0-1 FT) with eight assists, four rebounds, three steals and one block in a 109-99 loss to the Spurs on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Wright didn't score much in this one, but provided his team with a team-high eight assists and picked up some defensive stats too. The guard missed seven games due to a groin injury recently but looks to be fully healthy now after logging back to back games of at least 31 minutes. Wright has been a solid all-around contributor this season averaging 10.5 points, 4.9 assists, 4.5 rebounds and 1.5 steals per game.

Smith Jr. registered six points (2-7 FG, 2-5 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists and two blocks in 21 minutes during Thursday's loss to the Hornets.

EDGE Analysis

The 23-year-old shifted to the bench with Delon Wright (groin) returning from injury, and couldn't get anything going in the second unit. In his previous six games as the starter, Smith Jr. averaged 10.8 points, 5.2 assists, 4.3 rebounds, 2.0 steals and 1.7 three-pointers in 23.4 minutes in the span. It's clear he's more productive as the starting point guard, so he shouldn't be counted on for consistent production while he's coming off the bench.

Wright tallied five points (2-4 FG, 1-3 3Pt), four assists and three rebounds in 21 minutes during Thursday's 105-102 loss to the Hornets.

EDGE Analysis

Wright returned to the starting lineup on Thursday after sitting out the previous seven games with a Grade-2 groin strain. He didn't take many shots in this one, but expect that to change once he gets his legs under him. The Pistons were monitoring his minutes after the long layoff, so it shouldn't be long until Wright returns to his normal workload.

Wright (groin) is starting Thursday's game against the Hornets, Rod Beard of The Detroit News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wright will be back in action Thursday after missing the final seven games prior to the All-Star break due to a right groin strain. It's not clear whether he'll face any limitations during his first game back on the court.

Wright (groin) is questionable for Thursday's game at Charlotte.

EDGE Analysis

The 28-year-old missed the final seven games before the All-Star break with a right groin strain, but he may be ready to go to begin the second half of the season. Dennis Smith likely will receive another start if Wright is unavailable again Thursday.

Wright was diagnosed with a Grade 2 right groin strain Sunday and will be reevaluated in two weeks, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wright suffered the injury Friday against the Grizzlies. Dennis Smith will likely take over the starting point guard role in his absence. Wright's absence will be a blow to the Pistons, as he's averaged 10.7 points, 4.9 assists and 4.6 rebounds in 29.2 minutes per game this season.
