Wright first known NBAer with MS

[ActiveMSers]

SAN ANTONIO -- About a year after he was barely able to walk due to a frightening disease, Chris Wright was running the floor with the Dallas Mavericks during Wednesday's practice.

Wright became the first-known NBA player to acknowledge having multiple sclerosis when he signed a 10-day deal with Dallas and joined the Mavs in San Antonio. That's a fact that Wright is especially proud of after earning a call-up from the D-League.

When I was first dx in December, my friend who lives in Ames, IA sent me an article about Chris. I was in a dark place then and it was huge for me to read his story. If he could overcome his dx and get back on the B-ball court, I could just as easily get back to my workouts!
