Impact Wright suffered what looked like a potential significant knee injury in the first half of Saturday's game but he said afterward that the play just re-aggravated a bruise he had from the game against Stanford on Jan. 16. The 6-0 senior was able to play through the pain and actually ended up scoring all 12 of his points in the second half. Wright is averaging 14.8 points, 5.8 assists and 4.7 points in 32.1 minutes per game as he continues to flash his all-around talent on a consistent basis. He'll look to help the Buffs end a two-game losing streak when they host Washington State on Wednesday.

Exits with leg injury Wright was helped to the bench after having his left leg rolled up on in the first half of Saturday's game against Washington State, Pat Rooney of the Boulder Daily Camera reports.

Impact Wright was unable to put much weight at all on his leg as he exited to the bench. The point guard was diving for a loose ball and had his leg rolled up on awkwardly. We'll have to see if he is able to return at some point or if this becomes a longer term issue.
