<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">PHOENIX -- Grizzlies coach Mike Fratello stopped by Lorenzen Wright's locker before tip-off to check on his starting center. Only Wright wasn't starting. Nor was he active for their game against the Phoenix Suns Wednesday night at America West Arena. A strained right hamstring forced Wright to sit out for the first time this season. He said the leg muscle tightened overnight. "I think it's from compensating for the ankle," Wright said, referring to his sprained and swollen right ankle. "(The trainer) said if I make a wrong move I could pull it or tear it. So I want to be smart." Wright said he decided to rest because the Griz won't play again until Saturday at Utah. The team will remain in Phoenix to practice today and Friday. "I want to be smart about it," Wright said. "What's the point of risking a serious injury and having to sit out weeks when I can use my head and get ready for the weekend?" Wright appeared in the first eight games and averaged 6.6 rebounds. He's off to a poor start offensively, shooting just 39 percent. Wright, though, has played injured since the Atlanta game last Saturday when he sprained the ankle. John Thomas took Wright's place on the active roster. </div> Source
Thanks for that. The sites i went to seemed to think it was a big mystery, so i was a little worried Lo might be having more personal issues and i wouldn't wish that on him after everything he's been through.
