Wright (illness) is not on the injury report ahead of Saturday's game against the Warriors.
Wright popped up on Friday's injury report due to an illness, but he's recovered enough to be available for Saturday's contest. He'll serve in a rotational role in the backcourt off the bench while Miles McBride and Cameron Payne get most of the minutes due to the absence of Jalen Brunson (ankle).

Knicks' Delon Wright: Listed as questionable for Saturday
Rotowire
Wright is questionable for Saturday's game against the Warriors due to an illness.
While Wright is iffy to suit up against Golden State, he hasn't been a regular member of the rotation since landing in New York. Miles McBride should dominate the minutes at point guard for the Knicks on Saturday in Jalen Brunson's (ankle) stead.
The Bucks traded Wright and cash considerations to the Knicks on Wednesday for Jericho Sims as part of a deal that also landed Kyle Kuzma in Milwaukee and Khris Middleon (ankles) in Washington, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
After signing with the Bucks this offseason, Wright appeared in merely 26 games for Milwaukee and averaged just 2.5 points, 1.8 rebounds and 1.8 assists across 15.6 minutes. He'll have a tough time earning minutes with the Knicks considering they have Cameron Payne, Miles McBride and Tyler Kolek.
Wright closed Monday's 112-91 victory over the Bulls with nine points (3-6 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, five assists and two steals across 26 minutes.
This was an encouraging display for Wright, who had played just 12.7 minutes per game over his prior seven games for the Bucks. The 32-year-old guard is shooting a career-low 31.3 percent from the floor covering 21 appearances this season, so even though he notched a season-high nine points off the bench Monday, Wright doesn't appear to be the most attractive streaming option for fantasy managers in Damian Lillard's (illness) short-term absence.
Wright is not in the Bucks' starting lineup for Monday's game against the Rockets.
Wright has started in each of the Bucks' last two games, but with Damian Lillard clearing concussion protocols, the former will retreat to the bench. In his last start Saturday against the Hornets, Wright finished with seven points, six assists, three rebounds, three blocks and one steal over 33 minutes.

Bucks' Delon Wright: Gets starting nod Wednesday
Rotowire
Wright is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Pistons.
Wright will get the nod at point guard with Damian Lillard (concussion) and Ryan Rollins (shoulder) sidelined for this contest. Wright will combine with AJ Green to handle the point guard duties. This will be the first start of the season for the 10-year veteran.
Wright (coach's decision) didn't receive any playing time in Friday's 116-94 loss to the Knicks.
For the second game in a row, Wright found himself outside of head coach Doc Rivers' rotation after he had previously appeared in each of Milwaukee's first seven contests of the season. However, Wright struggled to make much of an impact on the second unit, averaging just 2.1 points and 0.9 assists while shooting 42.9 percent from the floor across 13.0 minutes. AJ Green had first begun cutting into Wright's playing time a few games ago, but Rivers confirmed after Friday's contest that two-way player Ryan Rollins will also get more opportunities than Wright moving forward, per Tim Bontemps of ESPN.com.
Wright (shoulder) logged 12 minutes during Monday's 111-107 preseason win over the Bulls.
Wright missed Thursday's preseason game due to a bruised right shoulder, but he received the green light to play in Monday's exhibition. The Utah product didn't make much of an impact, as he was unable to record a single stat during his time on the court.
Bucks' Delon Wright: Dealing with shoulder problem
Rotowire
Wright didn't play in Thursday's preseason loss against the Lakers due to a right shoulder contusion, coach Doc Rivers told Eric Nehm of The Athletic.
Rivers stated that Wright isn't expected to miss much time, but the point guard doesn't have a return timetable yet. The injury occurred during Wednesday's practice when Wright was hit with a hard screen, and it's unclear if he'll recover in time to suit up for the Bucks' next preseason game against the Bulls on Monday.
