Sat Sep 24 2011 | 10:54 | Ant Wright still eyeing return to NBA? |
Antoine Wright believes that if he plays well in Spain he will be able to resume his career in the NBA. |
He might be right, but he's never going to be a fantasy asset. In his seven-year NBA career he averaged 5.4 points on 41% shooting (30% from downtown). |

Tue Aug 9 2011 | 06:52 | Antoine Wright signs deal with Estudiantes |
Antoine Wright has signed with Asefa Estudiantes. |
Wright, the no. 15 overall pick in 2005, spent last season in China after being waived by the Kings. He should continue to find success overseas after looking like nothing more than a marginal player in the NBA. |

Wed Aug 3 2011 | 07:24 | Antoine Wright close to deal with Estudiantes |
Antoine Wright is close to a deal with Estudiantes. |
Wright was waived early last season and later agreed to a deal to play in China. After the season, he proceeded to rip the Kings organization while simultaneously admitting that his work ethic and attitude were rather poor. Perhaps he'll blossom in Spain, but he's nothing more than a deep reserve on most NBA teams. |

Fri Jun 17 2011 | 10:25 | Antoine Wright admits lack of effort w/ Nets |
Ex-NBA swingman Antoine Wright admitted in a recent interview that his first few seasons in the league, with the Nets, were hampered by "a lack of work ethic and poor attitude." |
Wright also ripped into the Kings organization and assistant coach Mario Elie, but the bottom line is that he's doing himself no favors in his comeback attempt. Don't expect his name to appear on any fantasy rosters next year, even if he is given another chance by an NBA team. |

Wed Jun 15 2011 | 14:35 | Antoine Wright blasts Kings, Cousins in rant |
Antoine Wright was extremely blunt in his criticism of the Kings in a recent SI.com article, faulting the team for his release after just seven games last season. |
Wright says that his release was the direct result of a dispute with assistant coach Mario Elie, after Elie refused to take a photograph with Wright's mom. Wright added that DeMarcus Cousins' attitude was "really, really bad" and said that Tyreke Evans "had a pretty good attitude" even though his work ethic "wasn't great." Wright also adds that the Kings didn't have scouting reports on other teams and that it was "chaos" coming on the court before games. If true, Wright's comments paint a vivid picture of a basketball operation in significant disarray. |

Kings waived F Antoine Wright. |
Wright has appeared in just four games for the Kings. He'll get some nibbles on the open market as a guy that can defend off the bench. |

Antoine Wright, who is completely out of the rotation for the Kings, was arrested on suspicion of DUI on Thursday night. |
That's not going to do much for his playing time problem, or help him stay in the league for long, meaningful career. |

Fri Nov 5 2010 | 18:33 | Wright, Head out Friday for personal reasons |
Antoine Wright and Luther Head will not play Friday against the Grizzlies due to personal reasons. |
Rookies Hassan Whiteside and Pooh Jeter will be active in their place, but neither figure to have any fantasy value. |

Fri Oct 8 2010 | 20:30 | Wright to start at small forward Sunday |
Antoine Wright is slated to start at small forward against the Warriors on Sunday. |
"We want to get a good look at Antoine," said Kings head coach Paul Westphal. "I don't like to play a guy two or three minutes in a blowout and say you had a chance." Marcus Landry started the first two preseason games at small forward. Throw Donte Greene into this mix, and this becomes one of the more volatile positional battles going on around the league. As of this moment, all three should be avoided in fantasy drafts. |

Fri Oct 8 2010 | 03:09 | Wright struggles, but may be over quad injury |
Antoine Wright played just 11 minutes on Tuesday and then sat out Thursday's game for the Kings. |
He's overcoming a quad injury and could end up starting for the Kings at small forward, but was 0-for-3 for zero points on Tuesday. If he ends up starting for the Kings he's worth a late look in fantasy, but they have too many questions at both forward spots for Wright to be a guaranteed success, even if he's starting on opening night. |
Tue Sep 28 2010 | 20:07 | Antoine Wright leaves w/ strained quad |

The Kings signed forward Antoine Wright on Friday. |
He'll see some bench minutes for the run-and-gun Kings this season, but won't be worth owning unless he somehow wins a starting job. |

Thu Jul 22 2010 | 20:42 | Kings sign A. Wright |
Free agent swingman Antoine Wright has agreed to a one-year deal with the Sacramento Kings. |
Wright will join an overcrowded group of wingmen that includes Omri Casspi, Francisco Garcia, Donte Greene, and Ime Udoka. Throw in coach Paul Westphal's chaotic rotations and there's no reason to expect fantasy production from Wright. |
Sun Apr 11 2010 | 15:05 | Wright (ankle) out Sunday and maybe more |
Antoine Wright suffered a grade-2 sprain to his left ankle in Friday's game, and will not play Sunday against the Bulls. |
He's still reportedly in a lot of pain and also on crutches, so his regular season is very much in doubt. Look for more of Sonny Weems and DeMar DeRozan, although only Weems is an option if you need scoring, and Hedo Turkoglu should get as much run as he can handle. |

Antoine Wright was carried off the court on Friday night with a sprained left ankle. |
Wright somewhat surprisingly came off the bench anyway tonight and went 0-for-6, so we can drop him no matter what the prognosis is. |

Thu Apr 8 2010 | 14:59 | Wright now day-to-day |
Antoine Wright (ankle) is listed as day-to-day. |
We're not sure if Wright aggravated that ankle sprain or if he's just day-to-day due to lingering soreness. With Hedo Turkoglu (nose) situation up in the air, it's getting messy in Toronto. Hopefully we'll get everything cleared up after Friday's shootaround. |
