November 25, 2008 Dorell Wright underwent surgery today to remove loose bodies from his left knee, according to the Associated Press. The procedure was performed by team physician Dr. Harlan Selesnick. Our View:The backup guard is expected to resume court activity in about three weeks. |
|
November 24, 2008 Miami's Dorell Wright will have arthroscopic surgery on his swollen right knee, according to the Miami Herald. Our View:Wright has played in just one game this year because of the knee. He will have little fantasy value upon his return. |
|
November 19, 2008 Dorell Wright is trying to be patient with his injured knee, according to Sports Illustrated. He doesn't want to risk being out even longer by coming back too soon. Our View:Wright probably won't have much fantasy value when he returns. |

October 20, 2008 Forward Dorell Wright practiced on Monday, but he still isn't assured of seeing any preseason action. "At times he looked fluid, at times he looked fine, at times I could see a little bit of a limp in his gait," head coach Eric Spoelstra tells the Miami Herald. Wright is coming off knee surgery. Our View:Wright isn't likely to see any minutes when the season opens, and we don't foresee him having any fantasy value this year. |
|
October 17, 2008 The Sun-Sentinel reports that Dorell Wright could play in his first exhibition over the weekend. He has been inactive due to a knee injury. Our View:Even with James Jones sidelined for half the season, Wright is still buried on the depth chart behind Daequan Cook and Yakhouba Diawara. |
|
August 20, 2008 Dorell Wright signed a two-year deal with the Miami Heat, according to the South Florida Sun-Sentinel. Terms of the deal were not disclosed. Our View:Wright put up a solid eight points and five rebounds last season, playing in over 25 minutes per game. |
|
June 25, 2008 The Heat extended a $2.4 million qualifying offer to Dorell Wright, according to the Miami Sun-Sentinel. Our View:The small-forward has played four years in the league but is just 22 years old. In 34 starts for the abyssmal Heat last year, he averaged 8.9 points and 5.4 rebounds, while shooting 40% from three. |

May 9, 2008 Dorell Wright is making good progress as he recovers from early March surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his left knee, the Miami Herald reports. The 22-year-old swingman is set to be an unrestricted free agent this summer, but signs point to him returning to Miami. Wright remains roughly a month away from returning to basketball activities. Our View:Wright was just starting to step into a bigger role when he injured his knee on March 2. Shawn Marion and Dwyane Wade will be the Heat's leaders in 2008-09, but there's a sizable void behind those stars. There's a spot for Wright to step into a No. 3-like role if he can get healthy and progress as hoped. |
|
March 4, 2008 Dorell Wright underwent season-ending knee surgery on Monday, according to the AP. The procedure repaired a torn meniscus in the joint, and he should be ready for training camp. Wright's set to become a restricted free agent, but the Heat currently want to bring him back. |
|
March 3, 2008 Dorell Wright will have his left knee examined on Monday. He injured the joint on Sunday, the Miami Herald reports. |

February 25, 2008 Despite taking an elbow to the mouth that resulted in two lost teeth in Saturday's loss to the 76ers, Dorell Wright is not expected to miss any court time. The Miami Herald reports that Wright dismissed the idea of missed minutes because of the injury, saying, ``It's OK now''. ''He just busted a couple of caps, but we got him fixed up last night,'' Riley said. ``He has a headache, but other than that, he'll be all right.'' Wright has averaged 12.8 points per game in February. |
|
February 24, 2008 Dorell Wright left the Saturday night loss to the 76ers in the third quarter after losing two teeth when he took an elbow to the face. Wright is considered day-to-day and should not miss playing time to dental work. |
|
February 10, 2008 Dorell Wright scored 15 points and registered seven rebounds and three assists Sunday in a loss to the Lakers. Wright could be considered short-term solution in larger leagues, but once Udonis Haslem returns in 2-3 weeks Wright has little-to-no fantasy worth, especially with the addition of forward Shawn Marion. |
|
January 9, 2008 Dorell Wright (ankle) missed his fourth straight game Tuesday. It's not clear when he'll be able to play again. |
|
January 3, 2008 Heat forward Dorell Wright sat out Wednesday’s game due to a sprained ankle suffered in Miami’s previous contest at Washington, the AP reported. Our View:Wright’s had his moments this season, but has been too inconsistent for fantasy owners to rely on him. Considering his recent play and current injury, he’s probably best suited for your league’s waiver wire. |
