Chris Wright Will Play In NCAA Tournament After Return From Broken Hand

Two weeks ago, Chris Wright was having surgery to repair a broken hand. Today, Chris Wright is tweeting that he will return from that injury for the NCAA Tournament.

Wright had averaged 13.1 points and 5.4 assists per game through his first 28 games this season, and had scored 22.6 points per game over his last three outings before being hurt. Without him, the Hoyas went 0-4, losing twice to Cincinnati and thrice by double digits.

Chris Wright had surgery Thursday morning to repair his broken non-shooting hand. He’s likely to miss the rest of the regular season and the Big East Tournament, but the team expects its star guard to return in time for the NCAA Tournament.

With 13.1 points and 5.4 assists per game, the senior guard is one of Georgetown’s best players. His loss hurts a Hoyas team that had made a great run through the Big East regular season after early setbacks.
