His family reported to Police in Collierville, Tenn on Thursday 22nd of July and they say that they haven’t seen Lorenzen Wright since Sunday, 18th of July.

He hasn't been heard from for more than a week now. Sure he's not a star player and all but I pray that he's alright...

[Jeffx]

A week? I have a feeling this story will not end well. Hope I'm wrong.

[George7]

I read that at NBA.com two days ago. Hopefully will end up well. But a week is a long time

[Lamrock]

I'm with Jeffx. Can't see this ending well. Here's hoping he resurfaces.

[J@3]

How does a 7 foot tall black guy go missing?

[benji]

Ask Bison Dele.

[Andrew]

Doesn't sound too promising.

[Jeffx]

WFAN reported he was found dead...damn.

i sure hope that it was not a suicide, myeyewitnessnews is the only one reporting that though.

[Doobie]

Wow. This is just sad.. Rest in Peace Lorenzen Wright.

[Martti.]

RIP. Leaving 6 six children behind, really sad.

[buzzy]

Horrible, horrible news. May he RIP.

[JaoSming]

updated the title, RIP

[Jackal]

Has he been dead since he went missing though? If it wasn't self inflicted this may have more to the story.

Rest in peace though, a real shame to hear something like this happen to anyone, let alone the NBA family.

[Andrew]

Latest update is saying it does not appear to be suicide and that he was shot several times. Awful stuff, condolences to his family.

Bill Simmons also points out:

RIP Lorenzen Wright. 4 '96 Clippers passed away (Sealy, Wright, B. Williams, Duckworth) + a 5th is a quadraplegic (R. Rogers). Dumbfounding.

[Axel The Great]

This is just sad. Though I don't know him too well (I'm pretty sure I've read his name somewhere), may he RIP.

[Fresh8]

It's very sad. The first thing i thought about were his kids. My thoughts are with them, his family and his friends.

I think Loy Vaught's back is still worse than Bird's too. He couldn't walk right for years.

[Lamrock]

RIP. The 95-96 Clipper curse is pretty crazy. Just read up on Bison Dele's bizarre death.

[George7]

Damn... That's awful. Rip Lorenzen Wright

[NovU]

RIP, Lorenzen Wright.

Hope justice will be served to whoever did this.

RIP Lorenzen Wright. My condolences to his family, they have a tough time to face now.
