Having previously played for NBA teams such as the Los Angeles Clippers and the Dallas Mavericks and having started the season with Turkish team Yukatel Merkezefendi Belediyesi Denizli Basket, Wright had a unique path to the EuroLeague and Olympiacos.

In an interview Greek television program "Jump Ball," the big man explained his adaptation process and his goal of making it back to the NBA.

"I'm a rookie here. In Turkey, where I played, things were different. It was a different job; they expected different things from me," Wright explained about his brief stint with Merkezefendi.

"But at Olympiacos, from the first day, I worked hard and found my role and the transition was easier. I keep working hard, and the more I score baskets, the more I find my rhythm," he explained.

"I'm happy to be here, and the team is giving me the opportunity to go up and play in the NBA, but that's a secondary goal," Wright concluded, stating that a return to the NBA is not high on the priority list for him.

With Olympiacos, Wright is averaging 10 points, 2.5 rebounds, and 12.1 PIR. On April 4, he made a crucial shot in a victory against Crvena Zvezda, scoring a three-pointer while the score was tied, and there were 24 seconds until the end of the game.
