12 NBA Players who died during their Playing Career 

#5 Lorenzen Wright

Lorenzen Wright #42

The former forward’s death is still an unsolved mystery.

Lorenzen Wright played for five NBA teams before his death in 2010, with the last being the Cavs. He went missing on July 18 of that year after leaving his ex-wife’s residence, and his family reported his absence four days later.

Wright's body was found six days after the report was filled, and reports state that a 9-1-1 call was made from his number on the morning of July 19. The caller was having a conversation with the dispatcher when several gunshots were heard, but the case remains unsolved due to the call not being traced as it should have.
