Grizzlies' backup Brandan Wright unhappy with role on team

Posted May 7, 2017
Grizzlies center Brandan Wright signed with the Grizzlies almost two years ago, expected to bring an athletic post presence. While injuries derailed the first year-and-a-half of Wright’s Memphis career, it was a coaching decision to keep him on the bench during the playoffs. Wright played just 12 minutes during the Grizzlies’ first round series against the Spurs. (FOX 13)
