The injury couldn't come at worse time for Wright, who was just settling into his shooting rhythm. Wright, who hit an NBA-best 194 three-pointers last season, has struggled finding his range this year. But Tuesday he poured in six of 11 threes for a season-high 20 points.
Jackson is looking at the day-to-day injury as an "opportunity for others to step up."
