Moses Wright
Moses Wright (born December 23, 1998) is an American professional basketball player who plays as a center for Žalgiris Kaunas of the EuroLeague.[1][2] Standing at 6 feet 9 inches (2.06 m) and weighing 233 pounds (106 kg), Wright is known for his athleticism, rebounding ability, and scoring in the paint.[3] After a standout college career at Georgia Tech, where he earned ACC Player of the Year honors in 2021, he transitioned to professional basketball, beginning with NBA two-way contracts before establishing himself in overseas leagues.[4] Born in Raleigh, North Carolina, Wright initially pursued tennis as a youth, training seriously and competing in junior tournaments before switching to basketball during high school at William G. Enloe High School.[5] As a zero-star recruit, he walked on to the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets in 2017 without a scholarship, gradually developing into a key contributor over four seasons.[6] His senior year breakout in 2020–21 saw him average 17.4 points, 8.0 rebounds, and 1.6 blocks per game, leading the Yellow Jackets to a fourth-place ACC finish and earning unanimous first-team All-ACC selection alongside his Player of the Year award—the second such honor in program history after Dennis Scott in 1990.[7][1] Undrafted in the 2021 NBA Draft, Wright signed an Exhibit 10 contract with the Los Angeles Clippers, appearing in preseason games before being waived and joining their G League affiliate, the Agua Caliente Clippers.[8] On December 21, 2021, he signed a 10-day contract with the Clippers, making his NBA debut the following day. In March 2022, he signed a two-way contract with the Dallas Mavericks, appearing in eight NBA games, and spending time with their G League team, the Texas Legends, where he averaged 20.3 points and 10.6 rebounds per game in the 2021–22 season.[1] After his NBA and G League stints, Wright played overseas, including with the Zhejiang Golden Bulls in China for the 2022–23 season and Merkezefendi Belediyesi in Turkey during the early 2023–24 season, before signing with Olympiacos Piraeus in January 2024 and remaining through the 2024–25 season. In June 2025, he joined Žalgiris Kaunas on a one-year contract, where in the 2025–26 EuroLeague season, as of November 2025, he has averaged 12.6 points, 6.4 rebounds, and a 16.6 performance index rating over 11 games.[2][9]Early life
Family and childhood
Moses Wright was born on December 23, 1998, in Raleigh, North Carolina.[1] His father, Gerald Wright, chose the name Moses, drawing inspiration from the biblical figure, declaring during the delivery amid an ice storm, “His name is Moses. He will lead our family.”[6] Gerald, an avid tennis player who worked in transportation, played a central role in the family's early life, often racing Moses and his brother to school each morning in a display of their close bond.[6] Tragedy struck when Gerald died of a heart attack in January 2012 at age 56, following complications from diabetes, heart disease, and a staph infection; Moses was 13 at the time.[6][10] The loss profoundly impacted young Moses, who later reflected on the subtle signs of his father's declining health, such as fatigue during their morning drives, noting, “That’s when I know he was getting too sick, but I didn’t know it at the time.”[6] In the wake of this event, the family dynamic shifted, with Moses and his brothers navigating life without their father, fostering a resilient support structure centered on shared memories and mutual encouragement.[6] Moses's mother, Calla Wright, a music teacher for the Wake County Public School System, became the primary pillar of family stability after Gerald's death.[10] She retired early from her position to focus on her sons' futures, initially steering Moses toward swimming and tennis—sports in which the family was deeply involved—in hopes of securing college scholarships.[10][11] Calla's unwavering guidance and opposition to basketball early on reflected her protective instincts, yet she ultimately supported Moses's pursuits, including homeschooling arrangements to accommodate training.[6] Wright has brothers who also participated in football and basketball, contributing to a family environment that valued athletic involvement, though Moses became the first to earn a collegiate scholarship.[12] During his early years, Wright showed little interest in organized basketball, instead focusing on tennis and swimming introduced by his parents and older brother.[5] His entry into the sport came late, beginning organized play upon entering high school in the 2012–13 school year at age 13, marking a pivotal shift influenced by family encouragement amid personal challenges.[10]High school career
Moses Wright attended Enloe High School in Raleigh, North Carolina, where he developed his basketball skills after starting the sport relatively late.[13] Prior to high school, Wright focused on swimming and tennis, but he began playing organized basketball at age 13 in 2012 following encouragement from a YMCA coach.[14] He faced initial challenges adapting to the game, playing on junior varsity teams during his first two years and a home-school team as a junior, before earning a spot on Enloe's varsity roster in his senior season of 2016–17.[14] In his only year of varsity basketball, Wright emerged as a dominant force for the Enloe Eagles, averaging 21.5 points, 13.5 rebounds, and 1.5 blocks per game.[14] His athleticism and length allowed him to excel in the paint, contributing significantly to the team's efforts despite limited prior experience at the varsity level. Wright received multiple accolades for his performance, including selection to the first team of the Cap-8 4-A all-conference squad.[15] He established himself as one of North Carolina's top unranked prospects.[16] During the recruitment process, Wright attracted attention from several programs despite not being highly ranked by major services like 247Sports.[16] He received a scholarship offer from Georgia Tech after an unofficial visit in February 2017 and committed to the Yellow Jackets in April, signing his national letter of intent that June.[14][17]College career
Georgia Tech tenure (2017–2021)
Wright committed to Georgia Tech on April 7, 2017, becoming the first North Carolina native to sign with the Yellow Jackets since Anthony Morrow, and enrolled that summer.[18][3] As a freshman during the 2017–18 season, Wright primarily came off the bench, appearing in 25 games with 10 starts while averaging 16.6 minutes per game, 3.6 points, and 3.4 rebounds.[13] His role expanded late in the season amid team injuries, where he started the final four games and showed improved production, including a season-high 19 points against Florida A&M earlier in the year.[3] In his sophomore year of 2018–19, Wright transitioned into a more prominent role, starting 21 of 30 games and increasing his production to 6.7 points and 3.7 rebounds per game in 18.5 minutes.[13] This marked his evolution from a rotational player to a reliable starter in the frontcourt.[19] Wright's junior season in 2019–20 saw further growth, as he started all 31 games, averaging 30.4 minutes, 13.0 points, and 7.0 rebounds per game, establishing himself as one of the Atlantic Coast Conference's most improved players.[13][3] The season's postseason was cut short by the COVID-19 pandemic, with the NCAA Tournament canceled after the regular season and conference tournaments. Over his four seasons at Georgia Tech, Wright accumulated 1,130 points and 614 rebounds, reflecting his steady development from a lightly recruited bench contributor to a cornerstone starter.[13][3] This progression culminated in his senior year, where he earned major accolades.[3]Senior season and accolades
In his senior season during the 2020–21 campaign, Moses Wright emerged as a dominant force for the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets, averaging 17.4 points, 8.0 rebounds, and 1.6 blocks per game across 35.3 minutes in 25 appearances.[13] His athleticism and scoring efficiency, particularly in the paint, were pivotal in guiding the team to a 17-10 overall record, including an 11-6 mark in ACC regular season play and a 4-0 ACC Tournament championship run, before a 0-1 NCAA Tournament appearance, securing the fourth seed in the ACC Tournament.[20] Wright's standout performances included leading Georgia Tech to its first ACC Tournament championship since 1993, where he contributed 15 points and eight rebounds in the title game victory over Louisville.[21] This success earned the Yellow Jackets an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament as a No. 9 seed in the South Region, though Wright was sidelined for the first-round matchup against Loyola Chicago due to COVID-19 protocols; the team fell 62-75 in that contest.[22] For his efforts, Wright was named the ACC Player of the Year and earned All-ACC First Team honors, becoming the first Georgia Tech player to receive the league's top individual award since Dennis Scott in 1990—the second such honor in program history.[4] Following the season, he declared for the 2021 NBA draft as one of 135 early-entry candidates, ultimately going undrafted before signing as a free agent.[23] Wright also graduated from Georgia Tech on May 8, 2021, with a bachelor's degree in business administration.[3]Awards and honors
Collegiate awards
During his tenure at Georgia Tech, Moses Wright earned several prestigious accolades in the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC), highlighting his development into a dominant forward. In the 2020–21 season, Wright was named the ACC Player of the Year, becoming only the third Yellow Jacket to receive the honor and the first since Dennis Scott in 1990; he garnered 33 of 54 possible votes from a panel of coaches and media members.[4] He was also selected to the All-ACC First Team that year, earning 344 points in voting, which marked the first such selection for a Georgia Tech player since Alvin Jones in 2001, and to the All-ACC Defensive Team.[4] However, over his four-year career, Wright became the 21st Georgia Tech player to amass at least 1,000 points and 500 rebounds, finishing with 1,130 points (38th all-time at the school) and 614 rebounds.[3]Professional awards
During his time in the NBA G League with the Texas Legends, Wright was selected to the All-NBA G League First Team in 2022, recognizing his outstanding performance of 19.7 points and 9.3 rebounds per game across 29 appearances.[24] With Olympiacos Piraeus in the Greek Basket League, Wright earned the Hoops Agents Player of the Week honor on October 16, 2024, after recording 23 points and seven rebounds in a victory over Aris BC.[25] In the EuroLeague, Wright's standout defensive play was honored as the 2023-24 Magic Moment of the Season presented by Motorola, with fans voting for his game-changing block against Anadolu Efes Istanbul in the playoffs.[26] Wright contributed to Olympiacos' success by winning the 2024 Greek National Cup and the 2024-25 Greek National Championship.[27]Professional career
Los Angeles Clippers and Agua Caliente Clippers (2021–2022)
After going undrafted in the 2021 NBA draft, Moses Wright signed an Exhibit 10 contract with the Los Angeles Clippers on September 7, 2021, providing an opportunity to compete for a spot in training camp. This deal allowed him to participate in preseason activities, where he showcased his athleticism and rebounding prowess, though he ultimately did not secure a standard roster position. Wright made his NBA debut with the Clippers on December 22, 2021, against the Sacramento Kings, appearing in one game during the 2021–22 season. In limited minutes, he recorded 0 points and 0 rebounds in 1:28 of play, primarily contributing as a depth big man in blowout situations. His brief NBA stint highlighted his raw potential but also the challenges of transitioning from college to the professional level, including adjusting to the faster pace and physicality of NBA defenses.[1] On November 1, 2021, the Clippers waived Wright and subsequently assigned him to their NBA G League affiliate, the Agua Caliente Clippers, to further his development. With Agua Caliente, Wright emerged as a key frontcourt presence, averaging 17.6 points, 8.8 rebounds, and 1.3 blocks per game over 17 appearances, helping the team in their push for playoff contention. His performances included standout games, such as a 28-point, 15-rebound double-double against the South Bay Lakers, demonstrating his ability to dominate the glass and protect the rim at the professional level.[28] Throughout this period, Wright faced early professional hurdles, including adapting to the increased competition and refining his perimeter shooting to complement his interior game.Dallas Mavericks and Texas Legends (2021–2022)
On February 24, 2022, Wright signed a two-way contract with the Dallas Mavericks, allowing him to split time between the NBA team and its G League affiliate, the Texas Legends.[29] Wright saw limited action with the Mavericks, appearing in three games during the 2021–22 NBA season and averaging 1.3 points and 0.8 rebounds in 4.3 minutes per game.[1] His primary contributions came with the Texas Legends, where he was assigned after signing his two-way deal and quickly established himself as a dominant force in the G League. Over 12 games with the Legends, Wright averaged 22.4 points, 9.8 rebounds, and 1.3 blocks per game, showcasing his athleticism and scoring ability around the rim while helping the team to several key victories. His standout performances, including multiple double-doubles and efficient shooting from the field, highlighted his potential as a versatile big man.[28] In recognition of his impact, Wright was named to the All-NBA G League First Team on April 18, 2022, joining teammates Justin Jackson and Carlik Jones as honorees for the Legends.[24] The Mavericks did not retain Wright for the 2022–23 season, and in July 2022, he opted to pursue professional opportunities overseas, signing with a team in China's CBA.[30]Zhejiang Golden Bulls (2022–2023)
In July 2022, following his release from the Dallas Mavericks, Moses Wright signed a contract with the Zhejiang Golden Bulls of China's Chinese Basketball Association (CBA). During the 2022–23 regular season, Wright appeared in 38 games for Zhejiang, averaging 12.6 points and 7.1 rebounds per game while shooting 46.5% from the field.[31] His scoring and rebounding provided crucial interior presence for the team, highlighted by a 30-point, nine-rebound performance in Game 4 of the CBA semifinals against the Shenzhen Aviators, helping secure a 102–95 victory and advance Zhejiang to the finals for the first time in franchise history.[32] Wright's contributions extended into the playoffs, where he played all 11 games as Zhejiang faced the defending champion Liaoning Flying Leopards in the CBA Finals, ultimately losing the series 0–4.[33] In the decisive Game 4, he recorded 17 points despite the 106–70 defeat.[34] Wright's one-year contract with Zhejiang concluded after the finals in May 2023, paving the way for his transition to professional basketball in Europe later that year.[27]Merkezefendi Belediyesi (2023–2024)
In December 2023, following his stint in the Chinese Basketball Association, Moses Wright signed with Yukatel Merkezefendi Belediyesi Basket Denizli of the Turkish Basketbol Süper Ligi (BSL).[35][36] Wright emerged as a key frontcourt player and defensive contributor during his brief tenure, anchoring the team's interior presence with his athleticism and rim protection.[37] In five regular-season games, he averaged 26.4 points, 8.4 rebounds, 1.4 steals, and 1.4 blocks per game while shooting 57.6% from the field.[38] The team concluded the 2023–24 BSL season with a 12–18 record, finishing 12th in the 16-team league and failing to qualify for the playoffs. Wright left the club after one month to sign with Olympiacos Piraeus for the remainder of the season, securing an opportunity in the EuroLeague.[39]Olympiacos Piraeus (2024–2025)
On January 26, 2024, Moses Wright signed a contract with Olympiacos Piraeus, a powerhouse in the Greek Basket League and EuroLeague, extending through June 2025 to bolster the team's frontcourt depth.[40] The addition came amid Olympiacos' push for contention in both domestic and European competitions, with Wright bringing athleticism and versatility as a power forward/center from his prior experience in Turkey.[39] Wright quickly integrated into the rotation under coach Georgios Bartzokas, providing energy off the bench in a contending squad aiming for titles. In his debut month, he contributed significantly in the Greek Basket League, scoring a game-high 16 points on efficient shooting in a February 4, 2024, win over Promitheas Patras, helping secure momentum early in the season.[41] By April, his impact peaked in EuroLeague play, where he erupted for 20 points—including 16 in the decisive fourth quarter—during a crucial 86-81 victory over Anadolu Efes Istanbul on April 4, 2024, clinching a playoff spot and averaging around 15 minutes per game in high-stakes matchups.[42] Wright's season was interrupted in December 2024 by a serious respiratory illness that sidelined him for several months, threatening his career and forcing him to miss the bulk of the regular season's latter stages.[43] He staged a remarkable recovery, returning on March 25, 2025, in a EuroLeague game against ASVEL Basket, and delivering his strongest performance since the health scare in a postseason game that advanced Olympiacos toward the EuroLeague Final Four.[44] His resilience added depth during the playoff run, where he logged key minutes in frontcourt rotations. Wright's contributions helped Olympiacos capture the Greek Basket League championship in June 2025, defeating rival Panathinaikos in the finals, and reach the EuroLeague Final Four, where they earned third place, marking a successful campaign despite his injury absence.[45][46] With his contract expiring that summer, Wright bid an emotional farewell to the club, reflecting on the highs of championship success after his health ordeal, before moving to Lithuania to join Žalgiris Kaunas on June 30, 2025.[47][48]Žalgiris Kaunas (2025–present)
In the summer of 2025, Moses Wright signed a one-year contract with Žalgiris Kaunas, joining the Lithuanian club after his stint with Olympiacos Piraeus to bolster the team's frontcourt with his athleticism and size.[49][50] As a center, Wright has emerged as a key leader in Žalgiris' frontcourt rotation, providing scoring and rebounding support in both the EuroLeague and the domestic Lithuanian Basketball League (LKL).[51][9] Early in the 2025–26 EuroLeague season, Wright made an immediate impact, averaging 12.6 points, 6.4 rebounds, and 16.6 in performance index rating (PIR) across his first 11 games as of November 16, 2025, often delivering double-digit scoring efforts.[2] His standout performance came on November 7, 2025, when he recorded his first career EuroLeague double-double with 11 points and 10 rebounds in a victory over Valencia Basket, contributing to Žalgiris' strong start in the competition.[52][53] In the LKL, Wright has similarly anchored the frontcourt, averaging 9.3 points and 4.6 rebounds per game through eight appearances as of November 16, 2025, helping Žalgiris maintain its dominance in the league.[54][55] Wright's prior EuroLeague experience with Olympiacos has aided his seamless transition, allowing him to focus on integrating with teammates like Azuolas Tubelis in the paint. Performance trends indicate steady contributions on both ends, with efficient shooting (63.1% from two-point range) and defensive presence (0.6 steals and 0.7 blocks per game), positioning him as a reliable option amid Žalgiris' push for playoff contention.[56][2] As of November 2025, Wright's one-year deal leaves room for potential extensions, though no formal discussions have been reported. Earlier in the year, Cyprus briefly pursued him as a naturalized player for EuroBasket 2025, but the effort did not materialize due to passport issues, and he was omitted from their preliminary roster.[57][58]Career statistics
