Wright expected to miss at least four weeks

Portland Trail Blazers forward Dorell Wright is expected to miss between four and six weeks of NBA action due to a hand injury.

According to the Associated Press, Wright has broken a bone in his non-shooting left hand, meaning that the key reserve will now miss vital games as the Blazers look to bag a playoff position.

Wright picked up the injury during Portland's loss to the Los Angeles Clippers, with an X-ray confirming a break to his fourth metacarpal bone.

The 29-year-old has made two starts for the Blazers this campaign, averaging 4.6 points, 2.3 rebounds and 12.4 minutes in 48 games.
