Wright is starting at point guard for the Hawks for Wednesday's preseason matchup against Cleveland, Brad Rowland of PeachtreeHoops.com reports
EDGE Analysis
With star point guard Trae Young (quad) ruled out after taking a knee to the quad in Monday's opener, Wright is getting the start in his place. The 29-year-old was traded from Kings to the Hawks over the offseason, and the fact that he is starting in the place of Young bodes well for his standing as the Hawks' backup point guard heading into the regular season.
