Brandan Wright: Released by Rockets
Brandan Wright (knee) was released by the Rockets on Friday, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.Wright signed with the Rockets after being bought out by the Grizzlies and was immediately hit with a right knee injury. The big man underwent surgery on it and would not have been able to return this season, so he will rehab with the Rockets without officially being on their roster. The team will use the open roster spot to sign Le'Bryan Nash.

Rockets' Brandan Wright: To miss another 2-to-3 weeks
Brandan Wright (knee) is expected to miss another 2-to-3 weeks, Adam Wexler of KPRC-TV reports.Wright will be missing a fifth straight game Wednesday and it appears he'll be in line for handful more absences while continuing to progress in his recovery from a right knee injury. If the 2-to-3 week timetable for a return holds true, Wright's earliest return would come March 22 against the Pistons, though this all depends on how his knee responds to his rehabilitation. Once cleared, Wright will likely play a fairly minor role off the bench in the frontcourt and should struggle to post fantasy worthy numbers.

Brandan Wright (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's matchup with the Clippers, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.Wright made his Houston Rockets debut Sunday against the Nuggets, but came away with some knee soreness and was subsequently held out Monday.

Rockets' Brandan Wright: Not expected to play Wednesday
Brandan Wright (coach's decision) is not expected to play in Wednesday's game against the Kings, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.Wright officially signed with the Houston Rockets earlier this week, but the Rockets aren't quite ready to integrate the big man into their rotation. While he'll be active Wednesday, coach Mike D'Antoni indicated he doesn't expect to play Wright, so he can continue to be avoided until we figure out his role after the All-Star break. Either way, Wright is unlikely to see significant minutes once the Rockets are ready to unleash him.
