EPISODE 5: The Divorce

Killing Lorenzen: Love•Basketball•Murder

By 2009, Lorenzen Wright's 13-season, $55 million NBA career was over and so was his marriage to Sherra, his wife of 11 years.

The two who'd been brought together by basketball, had seven children and lost one, were calling it quits.

The 12,000-square-foot mansion in Eads, Tennessee, they bought in 2008 for $2.7 million was sold on the courthouse steps. Their million-dollar home in Atlanta eventually went into foreclosure, too. It was just a sign of the turmoil.

Their divorce was final in February 2010 — five months before Lorenzen was killed.
