Wright (groin) is doubtful for Sunday's game against Orlando.
EDGE Analysis
Wright left Friday's game with a right adductor strain, and he appears unlikely to play against the Magic on Sunday. If he's unable to suit up, Dennis Smith and Saben Lee should see extra run for the Pistons.

Wright won't return to Friday's game against the Grizzlies due to a right groin strain, Keith Langlois of the Pistons' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wright headed to the locker room after drilling a three-pointer in the second half, and he'll be unable to return down the stretch. Prior to his departure, he recorded 16 points (6-7 FG, 4-5 3Pt), four assists, three rebounds and two steals over 25 minutes. It's not yet clear whether he'll be available for Sunday's matchup against Orlando.

Wright and the Pistons will not play Tuesday against the Spurs or Wednesday against the Mavericks due to postponements, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Tuesday's game against San Antonio had already been nixed due to COVID-19 concerns, and the Pistons will now have another game postponed -- this time due to inclement weather in the Dallas area. As a result, the Pistons are now on a two-game week, which features games in Memphis on Friday and Orlando on Sunday.

Wright and the Pistons will not play Tuesday against the Spurs after the game was postponed, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
With contact tracing ongoing, the league will exercise caution and postpone the contest to later in the season. For now, the Pistons are scheduled to play their next game Wednesday night in Dallas. Wright is coming off a solid outing in Sunday's 123-112 win over New Orleans, with the point guard posting 17 points (6-7 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 4-4 FT), seven rebounds and six assists over 36 minutes in the victory.

Wright notched 22 points (7-9 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 7-8 FT), seven assists, six rebounds, a steal and a block across 35 minutes in Friday's win over the Celtics.
EDGE Analysis
Wright was one of the main reasons why the Pistons pulled the upset against Boston, as he surpassed the 20-point mark for the fourth time this season while also pacing Detroit in assists. He's not expected to reach the 20-point mark on a nightly basis, but this performance should help him solidify his role as the Pistons' starting point guard -- something that should translate into an uptick on his upside for the foreseeable future.

Wright (ankle) played in 37 minutes and totaled 22 points (7-16 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 8-12 FT), nine assists, four rebounds and two steals during Tuesday's win over the Nets.
EDGE Analysis
Despite dealing with an ankle injury, Wright managed to put up his second consecutive 22-point outing and just missed out on back-to-back double-doubles. Wright had been in a bit of a lull scoring-wise, scoring eight points or fewer in four straight contests before these last two performances. His defense has also improved recently, as he's racked up 12 steals in four straight.

Coach Dwane Casey said Wright (ankle) will play Tuesday against the Nets, Omari Sankofa II of the Detroit Free Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 28-year-old was considered questionable with a left ankle sprain, but he's good to go for Tuesday's contest. Trade acquisition Dennis Smith (COVID-19 protocols) and Frank Jackson (illness) are unavailable, so Saben Lee will operate as the backup with Wright cleared to start versus Brooklyn.

Wright is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Nets due to a left ankle sprain.
EDGE Analysis
The 28-year-old put up 22 points (8-10 FG, 4-4 3Pt, 2-4 FT) and 10 assists in 46 minutes during Saturday's loss to the Lakers, and he apparently suffered an ankle sprain during the contest. The departure of Derrick Rose leaves the Pistons thin on experienced depth at the point, so Wright's potential absence Tuesday would be significant. Wayne Ellington (calf), Frank Jackson (illness) and new teammate Dennis Smith (COVID-19 protocols) are also considered questionable.

Wright scored 22 points (8-10 FG, 4-4 3Pt, 2-4 FT) and dished 10 assists in a double-overtime loss to the Lakers on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Wright recorded a career-high 46 minutes in the contest and converted the ample playing time into his first double-double of the campaign. He rebounded from a recent run of poor shooting to knock down eight of his 10 shot attempts, making all four of his tries from beyond the arc. The sixth-year guard has seized the starting point guard job for Detroit, but he has yet to produce the type of numbers that would make him a must-roster player in the fantasy realm.

Wright had eight points (4-13 FG, 0-3 3Pt), five rebounds, four steals and one assist during Tuesday's 117-105 loss to the Jazz.
EDGE Analysis
The 28-year-old struggled from the field and set a season low with one assist, but he still provided some defensive value with four steals. Wright is averaging 9.5 points, 5.3 rebounds, 5.0 assists and 1.7 steals in 29.4 minutes while shooting 39.5 percent as a starter over the past 14 games.
