NBA player Lorenzen Wright found dead in Memphis

I was deeply saddened to hear the news about NBA player Lorenzen Wright’s body being found wednesday night in a wooded area 15 miles south of downtown memphis. Wright, 34 years old was reported missing by his family on July 22nd and was last seen on the 18th when he was scheduled to catch a flight out of town. 

Authorities say it was drug related.

Wright played 13 years in the NBA for the Los Angeles Clippers, Atlanta Hawks, Memphis Grizzlies, Sacramento Kings and most recently the Cleveland Cavaliers with 17 games in the 2008-09 season. Wright left the University of Memphis early for the NBA, and the Clippers made him a lottery pick with the No. 7 selection overall.

He averaged 8 points and 6.4 rebounds in 778 career games

  1. How do they know for sure if this was drug related? Or is it that someone wanted it to look like it was drug related this should not be a close case the family should please stay on top of this more relatives should be interviewed I’m still confused about the wife stating that some men came to her house and threaten her about her husband

    And the fact that she was to afraid to say anything for the fear of her and her children ..now it maybe could have happen but something should have been mention,like I stated maybe the police want’s this to look as if it was drug related were is the proof that this young man was tied up in this type of acitivity my prayer’s goes out for the family and his children that he has left behind,,,may God push out the ones that has cause this young may harm

    May he rest in peace
