Chris Wright: Returns to court Tuesday
Wright (back) played 10 minutes in the 128-111 Tuesday win over the Legends. He finished the contest with four points (2-5 FG), two rebounds, one assist and one steal.
Wright has been an efficient scorer for the Blue despite averaging just 18.9 minutes in 33 games with the Blue, attempting on average 7.1 field goals per contest en route to 10.1 points. With only a few games remaining in the season, it seems likely the veteran G League player will finish with his second-lowest totals in terms of minutes played and point scored during his sixth stint in the developmental league.

Thunder's Chris Wright: Signs with Thunder
Wright signed a contract with the Thunder on Wednesday, Erik Horne of The Oklahoman reports.
After being waived by the Thunder prior to the 2016-17 campaign, Wright spent last season with the team's G-League affiliate, playing in 20 games and averaging 9.9 points, 4.2 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.0 block across 21.9 minutes. In signing with the Thunder on Wednesday, he'll get one final look with the team over the next week or so, though he's fully expected to be waived and should be on track to resume his role with the team's G-League affiliate once that happens.

Chris Wright: No longer with Thunder
Wright was waived by the Thunder on Monday, Gary Washburn of the Boston Globe reports.
Wright saw minimal action in just one preseason game for the Thunder and never had a great chance of making the final roster, so it comes as little surprise he was waived on Monday. Wright has played both overseas and in the D-League in the past, so if he fails to draw interest from other NBA organizations, look for him to fall back on one of the other two options.

Thunder's Chris Wright: Signs partially guaranteed deal with OKC
Wright signed a partially guaranteed contract with the Thunder on Wednesday, international basketball writer David Pick reports.
The athletic forward has bounced around the world since going undrafted in 2011, spending time with the Warriors and Bucks, as well as a number of D-League and international teams. This past season, Wright played in the Israeli Basketball Premier League for Maccabi Rishon LeZion, where he averaged 12.3 points, 5.0 rebounds and 1.5 steals in 27.4 minutes per game. The former Dayton standout will compete for a roster spot in training camp, but the odds are against him making enough of an impression to stick with the Thunder once the regular season begins.
