Wright Sits Out Another

Swingman Lorenzen Wright sat out his second consecutive game because of a sprained right ankle. He had sat out four games because of sprained knee ligaments before returning Sunday, then injured his ankle in the first quarter against Detroit.

“I could have played tonight, but coach didn’t put me in,” Wright said. “I guess he’s trying to bring me back slowly and make sure I don’t get hurt again.”
