Brandan Wright: Will start at center in exhibition opener

Marc Gasol is dealing with an ankle injury and will sit out Monday’s contest,
which allows Wright to take over as the starting center. While Wright could pick
up multiple starts throughout the preseason, Gasol’s injury isn’t expected to
linger into the regular season, so Wright should open up the 2017-18 campaign as
the team’s backup center. That will likely limit his fantasy impact to just the
deepest of leagues.
