Brandan Wright ready to return after injury

Posted Mar 14, 2009
Tuesday, in his first practice since partially dislocating his left shoulder in January, Warriors forward Brandan Wright lifted off from just below the free-throw line. He stretched the ball out, leaned toward the basket and turned what would have been a finger roll for most into a two-handed dunk. The play during a five-on-five scrimmage toward the end of practice signaled the imminent return of Wright, who sat out Wednesday in the team's victory over New Jersey. (San Jose Mercury News)
