Moses Wright not with Georgia Tech for NCAA opener

INDIANAPOLIS – As expected, Georgia Tech forward Moses Wright was not with the team as the Yellow Jackets took the floor for their first-round NCAA Tournament game vs. Loyola Chicago on Friday afternoon at Hinkle Fieldhouse.

Wright tested positive for COVID-19 on Monday and was isolated. Coach Josh Pastner said he was asymptomatic and could return if he remained asymptomatic and the Jackets won their first two games, against Loyola and Illinois on Sunday.

Wright was this season’s ACC player of the year.

Guard Jose Alvarado chose to wear Wright’s No. 5 for the game to honor his teammate. Alvarado usually wears No. 10.
