Hawks add depth at center, bring back Wright

ATLANTA -- Lorenzen Wright signed a two-year deal with the Atlanta Hawks on Wednesday, giving the team more depth at center.

Wright, who signed for about $3 million per year, averaged 5.8 points and 6.9 rebounds with the Memphis Grizzlies last season. The 10-year veteran returns to the Hawks, having played for the team from 1999-2001.

A free agent, Wright agreed to sign with Atlanta about a month ago, but the deal could not be completed until forward Al Harrington went to the Indiana Pacers for a first-round draft pick last week.

Wright averaged a career-best 12.4 points for the Hawks in the 2000-01 season. He returns as a backup to young starting center Zaza Pachulia.
