Television sports commentator Nick Wright told the New York Post that a wild evening in Las Vegas culminated in his decision to place a $2 million bet on the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Speaking to the newspaper on May 8, 2026, Wright said the high-stakes wager was the final act of what he described as an unpredictable night on the Strip. Details of the exact sequence of events were not disclosed, but Wright confirmed that the bet was made before he left town.
The commentator did not elaborate on the specific game, odds or sportsbook involved, and The Post did not report whether he made the wager alone or as part of a group. Wright also declined to reveal how much of the $2 million stake was his own money.
