First Known NBA Player with MS won’t Get a Second 10-Day Contract

 Wright, a 23-year-old Georgetown product, appeared in three games for the Mavs, playing a total of four minutes. He scored one basket in a March 15 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers, and Darren Collison made sure Wright got that ball to keep.

“He’s been an inspirational figure to a lot of people,” Carlisle said. “He’s an NBA-caliber player. There’s no doubt about that. You do what he’s doing — playing a professional sport with MS — that’s going to be something that a lot of people pay attention to. It shows his motivation, his determination, but it also shows the progress that’s been made in that area.

“It’s going to give people hope. That’s a great thing.”
