Wizards coach Wes Unseld Jr said Wednesday that he's hopeful Wright (hamstring) will be able to play before the end of the team's six-game road trip, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.

Wright hasn't played since Oct. 25 due to a right hamstring strain. The Wizards start their road trip Wednesday against the Nuggets and finish it on Dec. 23 against the Kings. If Wright can return before then, it is unclear what his role will be.

Wright (hamstring) remains without a clear timetable but is hoping to progress to 2-on-2 and 3-on-3 work soon, Meghan McPeak of NBC Sports Washington reports.
EDGE Analysis
Speaking after Sunday's loss to the Lakers, coach Wes Unseld Jr. noted that Wright is still weeks away from a return but is beginning to move in the right direction. The plan is for Wright to travel with the team on its upcoming Western Conference road swing, which begins next Wednesday (Dec. 14) at Denver and continues through Dec. 23. It's possible Wright could return at some point during that trip, but either way it's a positive indication that he'll join the team on the road.

Wright (hamstring) has been cleared to begin individual on-court activities, but he'll be out for at least another three weeks.
EDGE Analysis
Wright is making tangible progress in his recovery, but his absence will bleed into December and potentially longer. Jordan Goodwin and Monte Morris should continue seeing increased roles in Wright's stead.

Wright (hamstring) is expected to be reevaluated by the end of the weekend, Ava Wallace of The Washington Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hamstring injuries are always tricky and Wright has missed 12 games in a row. There's no clear timetable for his return, but the upcoming evaluation should provide a better feel to understand when the veteran might be able to return to action.

Wright has been ruled out indefinitely due to a Grade 2 strain of his right hamstring.
EDGE Analysis
Wright sustained a hamstring injury in the fourth quarter of Tuesday's matchup, and the issue will force him to miss significant time. The 30-year-old will be re-evaluated in around three weeks, but he's expected to be sidelined for approximately 6-8 weeks, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports. Johnny Davis will likely have a chance to see increased playing time in Wright's absence.

Wright exited Tuesday's 120-98 victory over Detroit early due to a hamstring injury, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wright posted five points (2-4 FG, 1-3 3Pt), three assists, two rebounds, one block and added a game-high four steals before leaving the contest early with an apparent hamstring injury. The severity of the injury is unknown at the moment, and the guard should be considered day-to-day moving forward. Johnny Davis will likely see an increased role if Wright is ultimately ruled out for the team's next contest Friday against the Pacers.

Wright and the Wizards agreed to a two-year, $16 million contract Thursday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
After one season with Atlanta, Wright will join the Wizards' backcourt where he figures to play a key role off the bench. In his lone season with the Hawks, the guard averaged 4.4 points, 2.9 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.2 steals in 18.9 minutes of action. Expect the 30-year-old veteran to see minutes behind Johnny Davis, Monte Morris and Bradley Beal.

Wright will start Monday's game against Indiana, Mike Conti of the Atlanta Hawks Radio Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran guard will make his eighth start of the season since De'Andre Hunter (knee) is a late scratch to play against the Pacers. Wright has averaged only 6.0 points, 3.0 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.5 steals in 22.5 minutes over the past four games but could see more involvement Monday.
