He played 14 games with the New York Knicks and 2 games with the Denver Nuggets before injury.
Wright attended the University of California, Los Angeles, where he majored in history.[3] As a senior with the Bruins in 1984–85, he made 10 of 11 field goals, scoring 23 points along with 12 rebounds and four blocked shots in a win over Louisville in the semifinals of the 1985 National Invitation Tournament.[4] UCLA defeated Indiana in the finals, when Wright held the Hoosiers' 7-foot-2-inch (2.18 m) center, Uwe Blab, to 12 points and forced him to foul out with 54 seconds remaining in the game.[5]
