Rooney: Playing in pain, McKinley Wright gutting it out for CU Buffs

SEATTLE — It is becoming a painful matter of routine.

McKinley Wright staggers off the court for the Colorado men's basketball team, grimacing while favoring his left arm. He disappears into the tunnel for a few minutes, returns to the bench and inevitably returns to the action for the Buffaloes without displaying any physical limitations.

I admit the sophomore point guard fooled me somewhat during Wednesday night's loss at Washington State. When Wright momentarily left the fray against the Cougars, bent over and holding his left wrist, it seemed as if Wright had incurred an entirely new injury.
