What It Means:

Wright made an early exit from Wendesday's win over the New Orlean Pelicans because of a shoulder injury, and it was officially diagnosed as a dislocation today. This is the same shoulder he had surgery on before the 2016 season, and he will spend some time on the shelf. Look for Fred VanVleet to play increased minutes, while OG Anunoby will likely see a bump in playing time on the wing in Wright's absence.

Not yet accounting for the injury, numberFire's models project Wright for 7.2 points, 3.7 assists and 2.3 rebounds in 22.6 minutes per game over the remainder of the season.
