🏀 Lorenzen Wright’s story is one that shook the sports world to its core.
A hometown hero. A beloved NBA player. A man whose promising life was cut short under mysterious — and heartbreaking — circumstances.
Lorenzen was Memphis royalty — a local basketball prodigy who made it big in the NBA, known for his bright smile, generous heart, and love for his family and city. But just a year after stepping away from the game, everything changed.
In July 2010, a chilling 911 call came through… Lorenzen’s voice on the other end, desperate, terrified — and then suddenly cut off.
That was the last time anyone heard from him alive.
As investigators began to uncover what really happened, the story that emerged was one of betrayal, greed, and a devastating fall from grace.
Behind the headlines and the fame was a tangled web of relationships and motives that would take years to unravel — and leave a city mourning one of its favorite sons.
This episode, we’re telling the full truth about Lorenzen Wright’s disappearance and murder — and the shocking twists that followed.
