Vanderbilt center Kijani Wright is out indefinitley with what Vanderbilt calls a "non-basketball related health issue."

Wright transferred to Vanderbilt in the spring after departing from USC and was expected to be a rotational piece for the Commodores at the time.

"Vanderbilt men’s basketball student-athlete Kijani Wright is out indefinitely with a non-basketball related health issue," Vanderbilt said in a release. "Due to the personal nature of medical information, no further details will be shared at this time.

The 6-foot-9 forward was a McDonald's All American as a high school senior, but averaged just 3.9 points per game in his sophomore season at USC before entering the portal.

Vanderbilt was set to rely on Wright primarily for his defensive ability and size on a team that has some concerns in the frontcourt.

"Kijani Wright, his defense is really impressive," Vanderbilt coach Mark Byington told Vandysports this summer. "He moves laterally, up and down. He can really run. Athletic. So he’s been good."

Byington also lauded Wright's ability to fit into his positionless scheme as he proclaimed that the center has the ability to lead the break and that he has "moved well" throughout the summer.

Without Wright, Vanderbilt will now have to rely heavily on 6-foot-9 sophomore forward Jaylen Carey and will have to throw out more small-ball looks than it originally anticipated.

Carey was likely set to play significant minutes already, but will now need to take over as a go-to guy in the frontcourt.

Vanderbilt will also likely have to lean on JaQualon Roberts, who played the four and the five this offseason.
