Wright has joined the Heat, but is still awaiting FIBA clearance before signing with the team, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
This is standard procedure for players coming over from China, and Wright figures to be cleared in short order. It's unclear if the veteran will play Tuesday against the Pistons or in Wednesday's regular-season finale against the Celtics, but assuming Wright is cleared before the end of the week, he figures to be available off the bench when the playoffs begin. Wright, who just finished off a season with the Chongqing Dragons of the Chinese Basketball Association, is playoff eligible since he hasn't played with another NBA team after March 1. The 30-year-old spent last season with Trail Blazers and previously played with the Heat from 2004-10.
