Wright will start Monday's contest against Utah.
EDGE Analysis
With Luka Doncic (heel) still out and Spencer Dinwiddie traded to Brooklyn, Wright will draw his first career start Monday. While the Colorado product has largely been out of Dallas' rotation this season, Wright appears in line to receive increased usage Monday.

Wright (foot) will be available to play Sunday against the Clippers.
EDGE Analysis
Wright missed Dallas' last two games with a right foot sprain and had been listed as questionable heading into Sunday, but he'll ultimately be able to suit up for the Mavericks' final contest of the week. Prior to suffering the injury, Wright had taken hold of a spot in head coach Jason Kidd's rotation as a backup point guard, but the second-year player is averaging just 7.7 minutes per contest in January.

Wright (foot) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Clippers.
EDGE Analysis
Wright has missed a pair of contests with a sprained right foot, and his availability remains up in the air for Sunday's tilt. The 24-year-old has earned a fringe rotation spot for the Dallas backcourt, and if he remains out, Frank Ntilikina and Jaden Hardy could see a few extra minutes.

EDGE Analysis

Wright is out for Wednesday's game versus the Hawks due to a right foot sprain.
EDGE Analysis
Wright's absence should free up playing time for Frank Ntilikina and Jaden Hardy. His next chance to suit up is Friday's matchup with the Heat.

Wright chipped in two points (1-1 FG, 0-1 FT), two rebounds, three assists and one steal over 23 minutes during Thursday's 129-114 win over the Rockets.
EDGE Analysis
Wright randomly logged a career-high 23 minutes in the victory, shifting up in the rotation due to the fact the Mavericks were without a handful of regular rotation pieces. Despite the unexpected opportunity, Wright failed to make the most of his uptick in playing time, registering very little in terms of tangible production. Simply put, there is no need to pay too much attention to this situation.

Wright recorded 15 points (6-16 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT) seven assists, two rebounds and two steals in 32 minutes during Friday's 112-105 loss to the Lakeland Magic.
EDGE Analysis
Without Jaden Hardy, Wright has returned to the starting lineup and assumed the role of primary creator. However, his inefficient scoring caused him to post a team-low negative-21 point differential.

Wright tallied 21 points (8-16 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and two assists in 25 minutes during Saturday's 117-102 loss to the Hustle.
EDGE Analysis
Wright tied for the most points on the team while coming off the bench. Despite coughing up five turnovers, Wright was the only Legends player to post a positive point differential at plus-six.

Wright (illness) played 20 minutes and finished with six points (3-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt), three assists and one rebound Friday in the G League Texas Legends' 129-121 win over the Austin Spurs.
EDGE Analysis
Wright, one of Dallas' two two-way players, made his first appearance in the NBA or G League since Nov. 26 after missing time with an illness. The second-year guard out of Colorado is expected to continue seeing most of his playing time with the Legends this season.

EDGE Analysis
The Legends were without Wright and Jaden Hardy Tuesday, who was recalled to the NBA. However, Wright shouldn't miss an extended period of time due to his illness.
