Wright will start Friday's game against the Grizzlies, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Trae Young (quadriceps) sidelined, Wright will replace him in Atlanta's starting five. The 29-year-old is averaging 4.2 points, 2.8 rebounds and 2.3 assists in 18.0 minutes per game this season, but he should see an increased role as long as Young remains out.
