Wright (elbow) played 34 minutes Wednesday for the G League's Iowa Wolves in their 117-113 loss to the Birmingham Squadron, finishing with 22 points (6-16 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 5-6 FT), six assists, five rebounds and one block.
EDGE Analysis
Wright's 34-minute appearance marked his first outing in either the G League or with the Timberwolves since Feb. 2, as he had been sidelined for the past five weeks while recovering from a UCL injury of his left elbow. The healthy workload Wednesday suggests the organization is comfortable with where Wright is from a conditioning standpoint, so he should continue to handle a sizable role for Iowa moving forward. The two-way rookie out of Colorado hasn't been a regular in the NBA rotation this season, seeing action in only three games for the parent club.

Wright has been assigned to the Timberwolves' G League affiliate.
EDGE Analysis
Wright had been dealing with a UCL injury, but that's no longer noted on the injury report, so it looks as though he may be rehabbing in the G League. Either way, the Colorado product is highly unlikely to make a fantasy impact this season.

EDGE Analysis
Wright hasn't played since Jan. 23 due to a left UCL injury. The undrafted rookie out of Colorado has only appeared in three games this season, so his prolonged absence hasn't impacted Minnesota's rotation. The Timberwolves released a statement Tuesday saying that the backup point guard has been cleared for contact practices and will be evaluated Sunday.
