Numbness right wrist 3" toward my elbow. feels like i'm wearing a wrist band for tennis. what could be cause, ?

Ulnar nerve issue: With your hand palm up, if the numbness is on the inner side (close to your body) ulnar nerve issue is likely; if on the other side, median nerve issue is likely. Things like ganglions can occur there, compressing nerves and may not be easily felt.
