Wright-Robinson had previously spoken about the death of her former husband, who played for the Memphis Grizzlies and four other NBA teams as a forward and center in 13 seasons before retiring in 2009.
"On certain days when it gets hard, we have to just pretend like he's still on a road trip,'' Wright-Robinson told The Commercial Appeal in 2015. "It's still hard.''
The 6-foot-11 Wright averaged eight points and more than six rebounds per game during his career. Born and raised in Memphis, he was a fan favorite thanks to his charity work with youth and his father's involvement as a coach in summer leagues. Former NBA players and friends, including Anfernee Hardaway and Elliot Perry, attended a memorial service for Wright in the days after his body was found. - ESPN
