Delon Wright to Join Miami Heat, Enhancing Backcourt Amid Injuries

The veteran guard's move follows a buyout with the Wizards, aiming to fill gaps left by injured players.

  • Delon Wright has agreed to a contract buyout with the Washington Wizards and plans to join the Miami Heat, bolstering their backcourt depth amid injuries.
  • Wright, the brother of former Heat guard Dorell Wright, brings experience and versatility to the Heat, having played for seven NBA teams over his career.
  • The Miami Heat are in need of additional point guard options due to injuries to Terry Rozier and Josh Richardson, with both players expected to be out beyond the Heat's return from the All-Star break.
  • Wright's addition allows the Miami Heat to complete their roster makeover, especially at the point guard position, following the departure of Kyle Lowry and Gabe Vincent.
  • The move is part of the Heat's strategy to strengthen their lineup ahead of the playoffs, following a similar pattern of acquiring veteran players during the All-Star break last year.
