Matthew Andrew Christopher Wright[2] (born February 7, 1991) is a Filipino-Canadian professional basketball player who last played for Kyoto Hannaryz of the Japanese B.League.

In college, Wright helped lead the St. Bonaventure Bonnies to an Atlantic 10 championship and into the 2012 NCAA tournament.

[10] He did consider committing to the La Salle Green Archers in the Philippines before his final year of high school, but decided to remain in Toronto so that he could be recruited by a Division 1 program.

[13] While he waited for the NCAA to clear him, other schools lost interest in him and he considered playing for the University of Toronto.

During this time, he made an unofficial campus visit to St. Bonaventure, who then helped him become eligible as the rumors of him accepting money were proven to be false.

[13] He finished his rookie season as his team's leader in three point shooting (.426), second in steals (.8), fourth in assists (1.6), and fifth in scoring (6.9).

[9] During that season, he hit a game-winning three pointer from the corner off a pass from teammate Andrew Nicholson against the St. Joseph's Hawks.

[15] In his junior season, Wright had 22 points on eight-of-eleven shooting including four-of-four behind the arc when the Bonnies beat the Temple Owls.

[26] This made him the 15th St. Bonaventure men's basketball alumnus to sign a professional contract since Mark Schmidt became the Bonnies’ head coach in 2007.

[4] Before the start of the 2015–16 ABL season, the Westports Malaysia Dragons signed Wright and Jason Brickman to be their ASEAN Imports.

[35] Coach Chot Reyes committed all the players of the Gilas pool to the PBA draft, including Wright.

[38] Due to food poisoning, he missed the team's first game of the 2016-17 PBA Philippine Cup where they lost 94–87 to Blackwater Elite.

[39] In his PBA debut, he scored 14 points to help his team have an upset win against the San Miguel Beermen.

[46] But they failed to qualify for the playoffs, as they lost to NLEX despite him scoring a career-high 42 points, the most by a rookie since Eric Menk in 1999.

[52] On his 27th birthday, he scored a game-high 16 points, 5 rebounds, and made the game-winning assist to Doug Kramer against the TNT Katropa.

[59] In a win against Globalport, he had 24 points on six threes, but received a technical foul after retaliating from a hit to his head from opposing import Malcolm White.

[71] In the Commissioner's Cup, Phoenix had three straight losses with Coach Louie Alas and Calvin Abueva suspended.

[77] Despite the injury, he was able to play in Phoenix's final game, in which he hit a tough corner three with 1.2 seconds remaining to beat Blackwater.

All games were played in the "PBA bubble" in Angeles City, the isolation zone specifically created for league operations.

[97] He also finished second in Best Player of the Conference voting, losing it to Barangay Ginebra's Stanley Pringle.

[103] In the Governors' Cup, he got another Player of the Week award after scoring 23 points in a Christmas Day win over NLEX.

[105] For the period of February 11–13, he earned another Player of the Week award after scoring 27 points,10 assists, and the game-winning steal in a win over TNT.

[111][51] Wright began talks on contract negotiations with Phoenix, keeping his options open on playing overseas.

[116] In Phoenix's penultimate game of the conference, he had 15 points, eight rebounds, and four assists to lead them in a rout over the Converge FiberXers.

He mentioned that it could possibly be his last game with the team, as both him and Phoenix failed to reach a compromise in contract negotiations.

[121] On September 2, Kyoto Hannaryz of the Japanese B.League announced that they had signed him to a two-year deal (with the second year a team option).

[146] Wright was part of the Philippines men's national under-18 team coached by Franz Pumaren that competed in the four-nation Nokia Manila Youth Basketball Invitational 2008 and 2008 FIBA Asia Under-18 Championship.

[150] He was also on the roster for that year's FIBA Asia Cup, and scored 25 points in a win over Qatar to clinch the top spot in Group B.

[152] He contributed 12 points (including a perfect 7-of-7 from the free throw line) in a win over Japan for the 2019 FIBA World Cup qualifiers.

[160] Wright begged off from the Gilas Pilipinas pool for the first window of the Fiba Asia Cup qualifiers due to rehab for an ankle injury.
