Delon Wright News, Rumors, Updates - Indiana Pacers

Hits for 18 in win Wright ended Wednesday's 132-116 victory over the Hornets with 18 points (4-5 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 8-8 FT), three rebounds, three assists and four steals over 26 minutes off the bench.

Impact Three different members of Washington's second unit dropped 15 points or more on a night in which the Wizards' bench out-scored their Hornets counterparts 72-23. Wednesday's effort was the first time this season Wright had even scored in double digits, and despite his good shooting night he still carries a sluggish 37.0 percent field-goal percentage. The Wizards seem committed to Tyus Jones as their starting point guard, but Wright isn't putting much pressure on him for the job.

Delon Wright scores 18 off the bench in win over Hornets

Uninvolved Monday Wright finished with four points (2-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt) over five minutes during Monday's 146-128 loss to the 76ers.

Impact Wright entered Monday's contest averaging 19.0 minutes per game, but he was phased out of the rotation against Philadelphia. Wright has credibility as a streamer for steals, but it will likely take an injury to Washington's backcourt or a trade to put him in a role with worthwhile minutes.

Three steals off bench Wright ended with eight points (3-8 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six rebounds, six assists and three steals across 25 minutes during Wednesday's 143-120 loss to the Pacers.

Impact While Tyus Jones will be the Wizards' starting point guard, Wright is a name to monitor in deeper leagues due to his penchant for high-volume steals. Last season, Wright averaged 1.8 steals per game and led the NBA in steal percentage among players who appeared in at least 50 games.

Out for season finale Wright will not play in Sunday's game against the Rockets due to right knee soreness.

Impact Wright joins a laundry list of Wizards players sidelined for game 82, missing the contest due to right knee soreness. The 30-year-old started in 14 of his 50 appearances this season, averaging 7.4 points, 3.9 assists, 3.6 rebounds and 1.8 steals over 24.4 minutes.

Still out Wednesday Wright (illness) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against Atlanta.

Impact Wright will be unavailable for a second consecutive game due to a non-COVID illness. Monte Morris (ankle) will also remain out, so Jordan Goodwin and Kendrick Nunn should continue to see increased roles.

Dealing with non-COVID illness Wright is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Bucks due to a non-COVID illness.

Impact Wright was a late addition to the injury report, which is never a good sign. If he joins Monte Morris (ankle), Bradley Beal (knee), Kyle Kuzma (ankle), Deni Avdija (elbow) and Kristaps Porzingis (illness) on the bench, Johnny Davis, Corey Kispert and Jordan Goodwin would presumably be Washington's go-to playmakers versus Milwaukee.

Pours in 21 points Wright finished with 21 points (8-15 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), nine rebounds, four assists and one steal over 32 minutes during Friday's 116-109 loss to the Magic.

Impact Wright's scoring comes and goes, but fantasy managers can usually count on him for his production in assists and steals when the minutes are there. Bradley Beal continues to miss time with left knee soreness, and Wright and Corey Kispert certainly look capable of holding down the fort for Washington as they combined for 48 points Friday night.

Starting Sunday Wright will start Sunday's game against the Raptors.

Impact Wright will get another spot start with Monte Morris (groin) sidelined. Across nine starts this season, Wright has averaged 8.3 points, 5.8 assists, 4.2 rebounds and 2.6 steals in 31.2 minutes per game.

Goes off for 24 points Wright accumulated 24 points (9-14 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), seven rebounds and three assists over 29 minutes during Friday's 136-124 victory over the Spurs.

Impact That is one way to break out of a scoring slump. Wright failed to score in double digits in his previous six games, but he usually finds ways to keep his fantasy value afloat with his ability to rack up assists and steals. If Bradley Beal (knee) and Kyle Kuzma (ankle) continue to miss time, guys like Wright, Corey Kispert and Jordan Goodwin showed on Friday night that they can pick up some of the slack.

Drops out of starting unit Wright will not start Friday's game versus the Hawks.

Impact Wright had started seven consecutive games for Washington while Monte Morris was sidelined by a back issue and then on a minutes restriction in his first game back. However, Morris seems slated for additional action Friday with his move into the starting five, suggesting that Wright's role could be slightly scaled back. Wright is averaging 6.7 points 3.4 assists, 3.1 rebounds and 2.0 steals over 22.0 minutes per game in 28 appearances off the bench this season.

Remains in starting lineup Wright will start Wednesday's game against the Hawks, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.

Impact Monte Morris (back) has been cleared to return following a six-game absence, but he'll come off the bench for the first time this season, as Wright remains in the starting lineup for a seventh consecutive contest. Over his past six starts, Wright has averaged 10.2 points, 5.5 assists, 4.2 rebounds and 2.7 steals in 32.2 minutes.

Steals the show Saturday Wright chipped in 18 points (6-10 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, seven assists, one block and six steals across 40 minutes during Saturday's 116-109 overtime loss to the Rapto...

Impact Wright was spectacular despite the loss, delivering season-high totals in both points and steals. That makes nine total steals in his past two games, a number that can certainly swing a fantasy matchup. With Monte Morris (back) set to miss at least a few more games, Wright is clearly a must-roster player across all formats. Basically, don't overthink things. If he is available, go and grab him.

Delon Wright records 18 points, 7 assists and 6 steals vs. Toronto Raptors

Plays season-high 33 minutes Wright closed with seven points (3-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt), six rebounds, 11 assists and three steals across 33 minutes during Thursday's 119-108 victory over the Raptors.

Impact Wright's 11 assists were a season high, as the Wizards' hot shooting helped the point guard post a great stat line. Wright couldn't snag a double-double, as he had only seven points. But he did pick up six rebounds and three steals. Wright has started the last three games with Monte Morris (back) out. Morris is considered week-to-week, so Wright should get plenty of minutes in the near future.
