Brandan Wright to have MRI Monday
Golden State Warriors forward Brandan Wright is going to have an MRI Monday on his injured shoulder, per Rusty Simmons of the San Francisco Chronicle.
If Wright needs surgery on the shoulder, he could miss up to six months. Wright played in only 39 games last year missing more than two months due to a partially dislocated shoulder.
"We were going to start Anthony Randolph, but I can't tell you that Wright wasn't the better player in camp," [Warriors coach Don] Nelson said. "We thought he was really going to be a factor this year, so it's quite a loss for us. It's just a real kick in the teeth."
Wright, who was the eighth overall pick in 2007, averaged 8.3 points and 4.0 rebounds in less than 18 minutes per game last year.
According to Nelson (via Simmons), Corey Maggette will be the team's back-up power forward.
