Wright closed his second season with averages of 4.2 points, 2.1 assists and 1.7 rebounds in 12.4 minutes per contest in 27 appearances.
EDGE Analysis
Wright was impressive enough in training camp to receive a two-way contract early in the season and split time between the NBA and the G League during the 2022-23 campaign. The Colorado product was used as a depth piece for the Mavericks throughout the season, filling in when typical backcourt rotation players were sidelined and seeing an extended role down the stretch with Kyrie Irving and Luka Doncic in and out of the lineup.

Wright totaled 11 points (4-5 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-3 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one block over 23 minutes during Wednesday's 137-128 overtime victory over San Antonio.
EDGE Analysis
Wright only logged 23 out of 53 possible minutes during this overtime win, but there's no question he made his presence felt. The Colorado product has reached the 20-minute mark in each of his last three games, but he hasn't been a part of the Mavs' regular rotation when Kyrie Irving (foot) and Luka Doncic (thigh) are healthy. Dallas was also without Tim Hardaway (calf) on Wednesday.

Wright (illness) suited up and played 21 minutes off the bench Saturday in the Mavericks' 112-108 loss to the Grizzlies, finishing with four points (1-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five assists and four rebounds.
EDGE Analysis
With both of the Mavericks' starting guards in Luka Doncic (thigh) and Kyrie Irving (foot) sitting out Saturday, Wright got the opportunity to make his first appearance with the NBA team since Feb. 15. The second-year guard, one of Dallas' two two-way players, had missed the G League's Texas Legends' most recent game Thursday against the Windy City Bulls due to an illness, but he looked healthy Saturday while slotting into the NBA rotation. Assuming Dallas gets one of Irving or Doncic back for Monday's game against the Grizzlies, however, Wright will likely move outside of the rotation.

EDGE Analysis
Wright's game-high 12 assists helped him post his first double-double of the season Saturday. Despite losing, he only recorded one turnover and shot 8-of-10 from two-point range.

EDGE Analysis

Wright will return to the second unit for Wednesday's game against the Clippers, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wright made his first career start Monday with Luka Doncic (heel) out and the Spencer Dinwiddie for Kyrie Irving trade still being finalized but will rejoin the reserves with Irving active. Wright will battle with Frank Ntilikina and Jaden Hardy for backup point guard minutes.
