Dislocated shoulder not expected to be season-ending setback for CU basketball’s McKinley Wright

After its first practice since Saturday’s home loss against Washington, the best news for the struggling Colorado men’s basketball team is that point guard McKinley Wright is likely to return at some point this season.

The status of senior guard Namon Wright, however, remains murky. And while Deleon Brown‘s status was clarified, he won’t be helping the Buffaloes’ lagging backcourt depth any time soon.

McKinley Wright may not be back for Sunday’s road date at Utah (4 p.m., ESPNU) but head coach Tad Boyle expressed optimism CU’s leading scorer and undisputed floor general didn’t suffer a season-ending setback when he left the UW game in the first half with a left shoulder injury.
