REWIND: Down 17, Warriors force OT and win wild one over Heat
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."
