Since Wright was drafted in 2016, he will play for his sixth NBA team. He was taken by the Toronto Raptors before being traded to Memphis during the 2018-19 season. After that season with the Grizzlies, he signed with the Dallas Mavericks for one season before being dealt to the Pistons. Then he was traded to the Kings last season.
