Georgetown point guard Chris Wright had surgery Thursday on his broken left hand and is expected to return to the Hoyas before the end of the season.

Hoyas coach John Thompson III did not offer a specific timetable on Wright's return but said the team's medical staff was "optimistic" that Wright would play again before the season is over.

Wright was hurt Wednesday in the second half of the 11th-ranked Hoyas' 58-46 home loss to Cincinnati, when he lost possession in the paint and committed a foul as he reached for the ball.
