Wright will come off the bench for Tuesday's game versus Portland, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wright filled in as the starting point guard Monday versus the Kings, producing 13 points, five assists, two rebounds, two steals, one block and two three-pointers. Terry Rozier (knee) is returning Tuesday, and Jimmy Butler is back from his suspension. But with Tyler Herro (knee) still out, Wright could have a sizable role with the second unit.

Wright agreed to a contract buyout with the Wizards on Friday and will sign with the Heat after he clears waivers, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wright played single-digit minutes in four straight games heading into the All-Star break and will start fresh when play resumes. With Josh Richardson (shoulder) out for an extended period, Wright will give Miami another dependable backcourt option behind Terry Rozier (knee) and Tyler Herro.

Wright racked up three points (1-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-4 FT), one rebound and two assists over 14 minutes during Wednesday's 112-104 loss to the Pacers.
EDGE Analysis
Wright failed to have an impact in the loss, scoring just three points in 14 minutes. Typically viewed as a steals specialist, Wright has failed to accumulate a single steal in each of the three past games. He is averaging 1.1 steals over the past month, meaning managers can likely find a more reliable option on a lot of waiver wires.

Wright (quadriceps) is available for Monday's game against the Thunder.
EDGE Analysis
Wright was carrying a questionable tag before this update, but he was able to play in both games of Washington's most recent back-to-back on Friday and Saturday. His role has been limited to begin the new year, and he's averaging 3.0 points, 3.0 assists, 2.3 rebounds and 2.0 steals in 17.0 minutes over the past three games.

Wright is questionable for Monday's game against Oklahoma City due to a left quad contusion, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wright logged his normal workload in both halves of Washington's back-to-back set Friday and Saturday, but he seemingly picked up a quad contusion along the way. Wright has settled into a 15-20-minute workload of late, which would be sprinkled between Bilal Coulibaly, Johnny Davis and Jared Butler if Wright is unable to suit up Monday.

Wright (rest) isn't on the injury report for Friday's game versus the Nets.

Wright won't play in Wednesday's game against the Raptors due to rest purposes.
EDGE Analysis
Wright returned to action Tuesday following a 20-game absence due to a right knee sprain, totaling seven points, four rebounds, an assist and a steal in 13 minutes in Washington's 127-119 loss to Orlando. However, he will take the second night of a back-to-back set off as a precaution and should return to action Friday versus Brooklyn.

Wright (knee) has been cleared for action Tuesday against Orlando.
EDGE Analysis
Wright was entirely removed from the injury report Tuesday following a 20-game absence due to a right knee sprain. Returning alongside Johnny Davis (calf) ends the only multi-game absences for Washington, bringing the rotation to full health. Prior to spraining his knee, Wright had averaged 5.8 points, 2.0 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 1.6 steals in 16.8 minutes across his last five contests. He'll likely slot into a similar role given that Tyus Jones has been sharp orchestrating the offense, posting 17.8 points and 8.0 assists over his last five games.
