Wright (hip) returned to action in Tuesday's 122-98 win over the 76ers, providing eight points (3-7 FG, 2-2 FT), five assists, two rebounds, one steal, and one block across 22 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
Wright missed the Raptors' previous game Sunday against the Knicks due to a hip pointer, but looked good while serving as the team's backup point guard Tuesday. Curiously, Wright has only played in three of the Raptors' last six games, but has seen 20-plus minutes in each of his appearances, as the rookie has entered the rotation when either Kyle Lowry or Cory Joseph has received a day off to rest. Joseph ended up resting Tuesday, so Kyle Lowry could be on tap for a breather in Wednesday's regular season finale against the Nets as the Raptors look to maintain the health of their stars heading into the postseason. If Lowry is indeed out Wednesday, expect Joseph to get the start at point guard, while Wright would again be in line for another sizable workload off the bench.

Wright (hip) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the 76ers.
EDGE Analysis
Wright, the back up point guard, is still dealing with a hip pointer that caused him to miss Sunday's tilt with the Knicks. If he can't play, head coach Dwane Casey may elect to keep his starting point guard Kyle Lowry active in order to fill back court needs. If either Wright or Lowry is deemed inactive, Cory Joseph could see extended minutes at point guard.

Wright will not play Sunday against the Knicks
EDGE Analysis
Wright is dealing with a left hip pointer, which he sustained in Friday's win over the Pacers. The rookie scored 19 points to go with four rebounds and two assists in the contest, seeing increased minutes with Kyle Lowry and DeMar DeRozan sitting out.

Wright scored 19 points (6-10 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 6-8 FT) while adding four rebounds and two assists in 26 minutes off the bench during Friday's win over the Pacers.
EDGE Analysis
With Kyle Lowry getting the night off Friday, Cory Joseph got the start and Wright filled Joseph's normal role on the second unit. If Lowry receives any further rest heading into the postseason, Wright could be an interesting DFS bargain play, but when the Raptors' normal rotations are intact the rookie barely gets on the court.

Wright recorded six points (3-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and eight rebounds in 20 minutes during the Raptors' 91-79 loss to the Celtics on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Wright provided quality minutes on Wednesday, and has seen the floor in four of the last five games. The rookie is only averaging six minutes through 21 appearances, but he could enjoy a chance to shine towards the end of the season if the Raptors begin resting veterans for the playoffs.

Wright was recalled from the D-League's Raptors 905 on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Wright will join the Raptors along with Lucas Nogueira and Bruno Caboclo, after the trio of young players spent the weekend in the D-League. The rookie point guard has been buried on the depth chart throughout the season and doesn't figure to see much run with the team before the playoffs kick off in April.

Wright has been recalled from the Raptors 905 of the NBA D-League on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Wright has appeared in 17 games for the Raptors this season, averaging 1.6 points, 0.6 rebounds, and 0.6 assists in four minutes per game during 2015-16. It's likely that Wright will return to the D-League in the near future as he remains a deep reserve on a backcourt that plays DeMar DeRozan, Cory Joseph, Kyle Lowry, Terrence Ross, and Norman Powell.

Wright was recalled from the D-League's Raptors 905 on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Wright will rejoin the Raptors after a brief stop in the D-League, but he'll likely continue to occupy a deep reserve spot for the NBA squad. Though he scored 13 points and added six assists and three boards over 31 minutes in his last appearance Feb. 28 against the Pistons, Wright's extended court time was mostly a byproduct of Kyle Lowry sitting out for rest.

Wright recorded 13 points (3-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 5-6 FT), six assists, three rebounds, and one steal in 31 minutes during the Raptors' 114-101 loss to the Pistons on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Wright had career-highs in scoring, assists, rebounds, made field goals, made free throws, and minutes played on Sunday. However, this was mostly due to Kyle Lowry receiving the night off to rest. Wright had only seen 45 minutes prior to this game during his rookie season, but he certainly displayed the potential that led to the Raptors selecting him in the first round of last summer's draft.

Wright has made three appearances for Toronto thus far in the month of February, and has averaged 2.0 points, 0.3 rebounds and 0.3 steals across 3.3 minutes per contest.
EDGE Analysis
Wright has appeared in just 14 total games for the Raptors this season, and wasn't able to surpass seven minutes of playing time in any one of them. However, Wright has appeared in six of Toronto's past 10 games, though had only amassed 11 points, one rebound and one steal across 19 total minutes of playing time. His role most likely won't change unless something happens to starting point guard Kyle Lowry and/or primary backup Cory Joseph, but Wright has seen more minutes as of late and had been performing admirably in the D-League when given the opportunity, which should keep him on the radar in the deepest of leagues.
