Summer League: Waiting for Wright
By Adam Lauridsen Let the conspiracy theories begin. From the Warriors’ summer league blog: One thing that has been missing thus far at summer league has been Brandan Wright, the eighth overall pick in last week’s Draft that the Warriors acquired from Charlotte in a draft-day trade. Brandan Wright is feeling the effects of a strained right hip flexor that he suffered during his workouts leading up to the NBA Draft. Since he is not yet 100 percent healthy, the organization has decided to keep him out of action for precautionary reasons. The hope is to have him back on the court at some point before leaving Las Vegas, but the team is being cautious with him at this point. Even though Brandan Wright is not able to play, that doesn’t mean he isn’t learning while down here. He sat alongside Coach Nelson for the entirety of Thursday night’s practice session and the rookie was able to discuss everything that was going on with Nellie. First it was JRich’s physical holding up Brandan Wright’s debut, now it’s this. UPDATE: Brandan Wright signed his rookie contract Thursday night when the trade was finalized, according to Janny Hu. The 30-day period is no guarantee that Brandan Wright won’t be traded, but it’s pretty close. The last thing you want to do in an active trade market is tie up assets. To avoiding sparking another round of KG rumor-mongering, let’s just see how things play out after free agents can be signed late next week. Summer league recap on Monday. Until then, have a good weekend.
