The team let a Monday night deadline pass for agreeing to a contract extension with the 26-year-old guard, meaning Wright will become a restricted free agent next July. The Raptors are going to deal with Delon Wright’s future in the future. Wright is seen as a viable part of the team’s future but not having long-term money tied up leaves the luxury-tax-paying franchise with some measure of flexibility next summer. They retain the right to match any offer Wright gets in July, so it’s not as if they are cutting him totally adrift after the season that begins on Wednesday night. He was hurt in an exhibition game in Montreal last Wednesday and has not played or practised since.
