Wright (hand) is expected to miss 4-to-6 weeks.
Analysis:
Wright fractured a bone in his left hand, and it initially sounded as though he may try to play through the ailment. However, the team's medical staff has decided to sideline him for at least four weeks, meaning he'll miss the rest of the regular season and the start of the playoffs. It's possible Wright could return late in the first round, but it seems more likely that he'd be back for round two, if the Blazers were to advance.
