Wright scored eight points (3-7 FG, 2-2 FT) with nine rebounds, one steal and two blocks in 30 minutes Saturday in his return to a more familiar bench role.
With Alex Len returning from his ankle injury, Wright moved back to the bench, but still played a heavy load of minutes. The likelihood of that continuing appears to be on the low end of the scale, so Wright's value for a lot of leagues may have just evaporated before our eyes. It's hard to deny the 14.0 points, 9.3 rebounds and 3.0 blocks Wright averaged in his past three games, so if his minutes remain elevated, he'll definitely be a savvy fantasy option.

Wright will move to the bench with Alex Len's (ankle) return to the starting lineup Saturday at Houston.
After logging 37 and 38 minutes in two games in place of Len, Wright will likely revert to the 18 minutes per outing that he's averaged with the Suns prior to that stint in the starting five.

Wright scored 16 points (8-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt) with eight rebounds and seven blocks in 38 minutes during Thursday's win over the Pelicans.
Anthony Davis (ankle) was out and Omer Asik (calf) got injured early in the game, allowing Wright to take over the game on the defensive end. There's no timetable yet on Alex Len's return from an ankle injury, and as long as Wright remains the starter he's have some value. Just don't expect him to repeat this performance any time soon.

Wright started Sunday's game with Alex Len (ankle) out and scored 18 points (7-8 FG, 4-5 FT) in addition to grabbing 11 boards in 37 minutes.
As long as Len is out, Wright is a viable fantasy option. However, this is only a temporary boost to his numbers. Wright had previously come off the bench in all 18 of his games with the Suns and averaged 5.9 points, 4.1 rebounds and 0.5 assists.

Wright will start at center in place of Alex Len (ankle) in Sunday's game against the Knicks, Matt Petersen of Suns.com reports.
With Alex Len again bothered by an ankle issue, Wright will make his first start of the season. Earl Barron got the starting nod when Len missed a game last Saturday, but Wright ended up logging 30 minutes to Barron's 13.

Wright didn't practice Wednesday because snow in Tennessee delayed his return to Phoenix, the Arizona Republic reports.
Despite the travel issues, Wright is expected to be available for the Suns' first game out of the break Friday at Minnesota. Even if Alex Len (ankle) is active, Wright should be handed the 18 minutes per game he's received since his addition to the Suns on Jan. 9.

Wright (heel) returned from a one-game absence Wednesday and posted 13 points, five rebounds, one steal, and one block in 17 minutes of action against the Wizards.
Wright is averaging 7.3 points, 3.5 rebounds, and 1.3 blocks in 17 minutes per game this season. He's considered a blocks specialist who can put up high percentages, but until he cracks minutes in the mid-20's, it will be hard to own him in most leagues.

Wright (heel) practiced in full Tuesday and expects to suit up Wednesday versus the Wizards, the Arizona Republic reports.
Wright missed Sunday's loss to the Clippers due to a sore left heel. However, with an unhindered practice behind him, he should be available to the Suns' frontcourt Wednesday. In six appearances since landing with Phoenix, he's put up 4.8 points (on 57 percent shooting), 2.7 rebounds, and 1.0 block in 18 minutes per game.

Wright is dealing with a sore left heel and will not take the court against the Clippers on Sunday.
In Wright's absence, Miles Plumlee will likely see an increased role off the bench behind normal starter Alex Len. The next opportunity for Wright to play will come against the Wizards on Wednesday.
Mon Jan 12 201501:14Wright made debut with Suns on Sunday
Wright made his debut with the Suns on Sunday. He put up seven points (3-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, one assist, one steal, and one block in 15 minutes off the bench.
Wright attempted one three-pointer, something he had not done since the 2012-13 season. The Suns sent a first-round pick to the Celtics for Wright and will expect him to lockdown the team's defense with their second unit. That should allow Wright to have value in expanded roto leagues, but he's unlikely to put up enough counting stats to be of use in most standard head-to-head leagues. Wright could average close to his stats from last season. In 58 games with the Mavs, he averaged 9.1 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 0.9 blocks in 19 minutes per game while shooting 68 percent from the field and 73 percent from the line.
Sun Jan 11 201516:51Brandan Wright: Will Make Phoenix Debut Sunday
Wright is expected to make his Phoenix debut during Sunday's game against the Grizzlies, The Arizona Republic reports.
Wright will likely come off the bench in relief of Alex Len and Markieff Morris at this point in the season. The newly-acquired Wright has the ability to take considerable minutes away from Miles Plumlee, although Sunday's game may be a bit premature to see that manifest.
Fri Jan 9 201517:50Brandan Wright: Traded To Phoenix
Wright will be traded to the Suns for a first-round draft pick, Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports reports.
This is the second time that Wright has been dealt this season, in that he began the season in Dallas and recently spent three forgettable weeks in Boston before Friday. The 27-year-old will likely provide relief off the bench behind Markieff Morris and Alex Len. Beyond that, Wright will directly compete for time on the court with Miles Plumlee, who is currently averaging 21.1 minutes per game. It's entirely possible that he could absorb almost all of Plumlee's minutes down the stretch, which still makes him a limited option for standard-sized leagues.

Wright has averaged only 13 minutes of play during his first two games with the Celtics. He played 19 minutes per game this season for Dallas.
After enjoying a career high of minutes played per game this season for the Mavericks, Wright joined a crowded field of serviceable bigs in Boston. Expect the limited playing time to continue for Wright until another big Celtics trade occurs. In February, expect the Celtics to deal Wright or some of their other big men. Either scenario should then lead to Wright spending more time on the court.
Thu Dec 18 201419:40Wright traded to Boston in Rajon Rondo trade
Wright has been traded to Boston in the Rajon Rondo trade, Adrian Wojnarowski reports.
Wright will join a crowded front court in Boston, competing with Jared Sullinger and Jeff Green for minutes at power forward, along with Tyler Zeller and Kelly Olynyk at Center. So far this season, Wright has been uber-efficient, leading the league in true shooting percentage with an unreal .762. However, that likely stems from lack of use on the floor outside of clear, short-range shots.

Wright had a very balanced performance against the Bucks, scoring eight points, (4-6 FG), grabbing seven rebounds including two offensive rebounds, while recording two assists, four steals, and three blocks.
Wright's activity was excellent against the Bucks as evidenced by his stat line. His main contributions are percentages and blocks, but it is nice for owners to know that he can put up a stat line like this in limited minutes.

Wed Dec 3 201409:48Wright scored four points on 1-of-2 shooting Tuesday

Sun Nov 23 201409:02Wright collected double-double Saturday in loss to Rockets
Wright collected a double-double Saturday in a loss to the Rockets. He finished with 14 points (6-of-7 FG, 2-of-2 FT), 11 rebounds, and three blocks.
Wright took advantage of a depleted Houston front court doing his damage in just 22 minutes of action. He remains one of the early surprises in fantasy and is worth a pick up in all formats.
