 The mysterious disappearance of former NBA player and Memphis star Lorenzen Wright took a tragic twist on Wednesday. A law enforcement source confirmed that Wright's body was discovered Wednesday in the southeast part of the city, the Commercial-Appeal reported.

The same source told the paper they are checking into a 911 hangup call from Wright's cellphone left Monday morning -- the day he disappeared.

Wright likely had a lot of cash on him when he was last seen leaving his ex-wife's Collierville, TN, home, fueling concerns he may be the victim of foul play, according to a Collierville police report released today.

Wright, the seventh overall pick in the 1996 NBA Draft by the Los Angeles Clippers, flew in from Atlanta to Memphis to visit friends and his six children, friends told the newspaper.

    Reports on Thursday morning, starting with Stephen A. Smith, are that LeBron James is leaning towards signing with Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh (also known as the Miami Heat, since they might be the only players on the roster when he gets there). ESPN's Chris Broussard, who's next gig will be guessing as a blind weather man, claims the Knicks aren't out of it, because "it's New York." James is also mindful that the Bulls have the best cast to put around him.
