A Memphis attorney representing the ex-wife of former NBA player Lorenzen Wright said three armed men came to her home about six weeks ago looking for the basketball journeyman - and threatened to kill her or one of her children if she went to the cops.
Lawyer Gail Mathes said the men indicated to Sherra Wright that her ex-husband owed them money.
"They kept their guns in their belts, but they made sure she could see them," Mathes told the Daily News.
Lorenzen Wright did not seem alarmed when his former wife told him about the incident, Mathes said. She did not immediately go to the police because she was afraid for herself and her children. She alerted police in the Memphis suburb of Collierville on Monday.

Court documents show that Wright acknowledged to the FBI that in 2008 he sold two luxury vehicles, a Mercedes sedan and a Cadillac SUV, to Bobby Cole. The affidavits about the business deal don’t show if Wright knew that Cole had been indicted in 2007 on drug distribution charges or if they knew each other.
Cole told the FBI he was connected to the organization run by Craig Petties, an accused drug kingpin charged with racketeering and conspiracy in six murders.
In 2008, Cole offered to turn over to Drug Enforcement Administration agents three vehicles he bought with drug money, including a 2007 Cadillac Escalade SUV and a 2008 Mercedes Benz S63 that had been registered to Wright.
Wright told agents he had sold two vehicles to Cole and he no longer owned them, although registration records listed the Cadillac in Wright’s name and the Mercedes in one of Wright’s business investments, Allwright Automotive LLC.
In federal court filings, Lorenzen Wright claimed ownership of the cars and said he didn’t know the property was used in a crime. A federal judge entered a default judgment in favor of the government in March 2010 and the vehicles were forfeited and the case closed.
