Confirmed: Hunger caused Raptors' Delon Wright to wear that awful suit

Life is just full of mystery, isn’t it?

How this construction company built a skyscraper out of the thin air outside of my window is one of the biggest that I’ve been struggling with as of late.

Thankfully, another that’s been eating away at me for the last 24 hours has been resolved. Thanks to a recent commercial released by SNICKERS Canada, we now know why Delon Wright of the Toronto Raptors entered Scotiabank Arena wearing that ridiculous suit ahead of his squad’s clash with the Milwaukee Bucks on Thursday night.

Based on my refined journalist analysis of this video, I’ve come to the conclusion that it can safely be said that Wright made that questionable wardrobe decision due to his hunger. As the 26-year-old point guard so candidly revealed in the ad, this hunger was directly responsible for his loss of ‘swag’.

And, perhaps thankfully, that directly impacted his play on the hardwood. The former first-round pick only scored four points and picked up two rebounds in sixteen minutes of action. Toronto lost the contest 105-92 to fall to 37-16 this season.

Why was Wright’s poor performance a blessing for the young man, though? Could you imagine if he walked in wearing that suit and went on to shoot the lights out? He wouldn’t have any other choice than to wear that thing before big games for the rest of the season.

Therefore, I speculate that he played poorly against the Bucks on purpose and I think people should respect that. One bad game in the middle of the season to ensure that you don’t have to ever wear those brutal threads again is a small sacrifice that the Raptors and their fanbase simply have to accept.

One final thing: If SNICKERS helped get you your swag back, why didn’t you take a bite of that delicious chocolate bar at any point in that 25-second commercial, Mr. Wright?
