Nashville native Brandan Wright helping kids smile

Posted Jul 16, 2021
Throughout his life and 10-year NBA career, Brandan Wright was simply known by his name. On Wednesday, however, the 6-foot-10 Nashville native was known as Dr. Wright. Partnering with Delta Dental and Neighborhood Health, the former Memphis Grizzlies and Dallas Mavericks player was the star of “Celebrity Dental Day” at Nashville’s Napier Clinic.
