Michael Wright, University of Arizona basketball star and former Knicks draft, was found dead from a head wound inside of his Lexus SUV on Wednesday (Nov. 11). According to the NY Daily News, police sources revealed that detectives are investigating whether Wright was killed by a man he met on the gay dating app, Grinder.

Wright's cousin, Randolph Berry, to the NY Daily News that his family was not aware that the athlete was gay, and he added, "We don't know anything about his personal life. All we know is that he did damage overseas. When he played ball, he destroyed everyone in front of him."

After becoming a standout player at the University of Arizona, Wright was drafted by the Knicks, but he never made it on the team's roster. However, he enjoyed a successful career playing overseas in Poland, Turkey, and France. His cousin revealed, "He left his French team in February and was planning to go back to Europe and play. He wasn't planning on retiring."
