Dorell Wright scored 15 points with three 3-pointers, three rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block off the bench vs. the Wizards.
Wright is averaging 26 minutes in his past three games, though it must be noted that Nick Young (ankle) hasn't been active for the past two. Doug Collins' rotations tend toward 'erratic' and he's shown no inclination to give Wright regular minutes with the roster near full strength, so for the moment we're viewing this surge with skepticism.

Dorell Wright hit 2-of-6 shots (both 3-pointers) for 10 points, two rebounds and two assists in Wednesday's loss.
He took a couple stitches in his chin tonight and is still not getting enough minutes to be used in fantasy leagues.

Dorell Wright, who had scored a total of 10 points in his previous four games, played 30 minutes and hit 4-of-8 shots and a 3-pointer for nine points, eight rebounds, three assists, a steal and two blocks in Wednesday's loss.
He can put up some big numbers if Doug Collins will give him minutes, but that hasn't been the case lately. Maybe this is a sign that Wright is ready to start playing again, so just keep a close eye on him over his next game or two, in case it happens.

Dorell Wright played 16 minutes and had seven points, seven rebounds, five assists and a 3-pointer off the Sixers' bench on Wednesday.
Jason Richardson is on his way to see a knee specialist and Nick Young is the small forward flavor of the moment, but if Wright ever gets minutes, he will so some damage. Just keep an eye on him. He was a DNP-CD in his last two games.

Dorell Wright has recorded two straight DNP-CDs.
Jason Richardson (knee) has been out, so Wright has been playing behind starting shooting guard Nick Young and backup Damien Wilkins. Yikes. "The guys I'm bringing off the bench, I'm going 2 a little bit more of a defensive mindset," coach Doug Collins said.

Dorell Wright didn't score in four minutes of action on Tuesday.
He lost his starting job to Royal Ivey (eight points in 19 minutes), which basically tells you all you need to know about Wright's value. He also committed a dumb foul on Mike Dunleavy for an and-1 layup. He can be cut in just about all leagues. Royal Ivey doesn't have much value and will likely fall off once Jason Richardson can return from his knee injury.

Dorell Wright started for the injured Jason Richardson (knee) scored just three points with four rebounds and three assists in only 16 minutes on Monday.
He gave way to Nick Young and Wright really squandered a chance on Monday. In his seven previous starts this season, Wright averaged 13.4 points, 5.4 boards and 2.3 triples, so he might be able to turn it around next time out. He's worth a look and we'll see how he fares against the Bucks on Tuesday.

Dorell Wright came off the bench for seven points, six rebounds, six assists and a 3-pointer on 2-of-6 shooting in 26 minutes on Tuesday.
Jason Richardson is still starting, but Wright is seeing a couple more minutes per game lately. But any way you slice it, this is a true timeshare between the two players, and will probably stay that way for as long as J-Rich is healthy. And that means that both players are going to struggle with consistency, although we still trust Wright a little more than Richardson right now. J-Rich had five points, three boards, two assists and a 3-pointer in 20 minutes tonight.

Dorell Wright started over Jason Richardson (DNP-CD) and played 32 minutes, but hit just 2-of-4 shots and zero 3-pointers for seven points, two rebounds and a steal on Wednesday.
Very strange. With those kind of minutes we expected Wright to post a big stat line, but he was passive tonight. The good news is he started and while it's possible J-Rich was just given the night off for rest, it's also possible that Wright could be ready to stick at SF for Philly. Keep a close eye on this situation when the Sixers play the Rockets on Saturday.

Dorrell Wright will start Wednesday night against the Raptors.
Wright will start with Jason Richardson missing the game for unspecified reasons. Wright has produced well enough to be worthy of owning in deep leagues and could put up some decent numbers against the Raptors.
