Wright (hip) is expected to play Monday at Milwaukee, Blake Murphy of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wright has been dealing with a left hip strain for most of the season already, and he has only seen action in one game for five minutes. Probably not at full strength just yet, the former Utah standout expects to play Monday however when Toronto travels to Milwaukee.

Wright (hip) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Mavericks, Blake Murphy of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wright was unable to participate in Thursday's practice, so his absence does not come as much of a surprise. The left adductor strain looks to be a lingering one for Wright, and now, with Fred VanVleet (toe) downgraded to questionable for Friday's game, the Raptors could be without quality point guard depth against the Mavericks.

Wright (thigh) did not practice Thursday, Blake Murphy of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wright made his season debut Wednesday after missing time with an adductor injury, but was limited to five minutes. It appears he may have aggravated the injury during the contest. He should be considered questionable for Friday's game against the Mavericks.

Wright's minutes could be limited Wednesday as he makes his season debut, Blake Murphy of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Coach Nick Nurse didn't make any promises, but he implied pregame that Wright may not play his usual complement of minutes as the team works him into the rotation. That said, Fred VanVleet is listed as questionable with turf toe, so if he's ultimately held out, the Raptors could ended up turning to Wright -- or Lorenzo Brown -- for increased minutes.

Wright (thigh) will make his season debut Wednesday against the Timberwolves, Ryan Wolstat of the Toronto Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wright missed the first four games of the season while battling a strained left adductor, but coach Nick Nurse confirmed after shootaround that Wright will be back in the mix Wednesday night. Wright's return will likely cut into Norman Powell's workload, though Nurse did say he plans to use both players Wednesday night.

Coach Nick Nurse said Wright (thigh) is expected to play Wednesday against the Timberwolves, Eric Smith of Sportsnet 590 The Fan reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wright is set to miss a fourth straight game Monday with a left adductor strain, but he was able to participate in the team's pregame shootaround and is trending towards making his season debut later in the week. Look for Fred Van Vleet to see some extra run until Wright returns.

Wright (thigh) will not play Monday against the Hornets, Eric Koreen of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wright will miss a fourth straight game to open the season as he continues to battle a left adductor strain. The guard was able to participate in Monday's shootaround, suggesting he's inching closer to a return. Look for Fred Van Vleet to continue to see increased usage in Wright's absence.

Wright (thigh) is out for Saturday's contest against the Wizards, Blake Murphy of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wright is nursing a strained left adductor, which is limiting him enough to keep him from taking the floor Saturday. In his stead, Fred VanVleet should see expanded usage.

Wright (thigh) is considered questionable for Saturday's game against the Wizards, Blake Murphy of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
It was thought that the Raptors might just be saving Wright for the second night of a back-to-back set, but he also missed shootaround Saturday morning. Thus, he appears to be trending toward a true game-time decision. Lorenzo Brown and Norman Powell remain the most likely to see a slight increase in workload should he ultimately sit out.
