Grizzlies reserve big man Brandan Wright happier with role

Posted Oct 7, 2017
There is no livelier body in Grizzlies training camp than Brandan Wright’s on the eve of the NBA regular season. Credit his improved health. Wright is entering the final season of a three-year, $18 million contract he signed before the 2015-16 campaign. The 6-10 forward/center recently turned 30 years old and feels no knee or ankle pain for the first time in a Grizzlies uniform. (Memphis Commercial Appeal)
