Wright, 35, was found dead in the back of his Lexus SUV that was parked in Brooklyn on Tuesday. The medical examiner ruled it a homicide on Wednesday.
On Thursday, The New York Daily News reported that police are investigating whether a man Wright met on Grindr, a gay dating app, killed him.
“We don’t know anything about his personal life.†Wright’s cousin, Randolph Berry, told the newspaper. “All we know is that he did damage overseas. When he played ball, he destroyed everyone in front of him.â€
Wright was selected by the New York Knicks in the second round of the 2001 NBA draft after he helped lead the Wildcats to the finals of the NCAA tournament, where Arizona lost to Duke. Wright didn't stick in the NBA, although he found success overseas, playing in Turkey, Poland, South Korea and other locales.
RIP
