Raptors’ Delon Wright out vs. Knicks with dislocated shoulder

Delon Wright would head to the locker room after appearing to injure his shoulder against the New Orelans Pelicans.

Toronto Raptors backup guard Delon Wright will not play in Friday’s home game against the New York Knicks due to a right shoulder injury.

Wright suffered a dislocated shoulder in the second quarter of Wednesday’s victory over the New Orleans Pelicans, the Raptors said on Twitter. He was examined Thursday in Toronto and the team’s medical staff was awaiting test results.

Wright, 25, is averaging 7.6 points and 20.9 minutes per game this season.

He missed the first four months of the 2016-17 season after undergoing right shoulder surgery.
