Wright's sister, Adriane Harris, told The Memphis Commercial Appeal that Wright has been out of touch before, but "not to this extent."
The family filed a missing persons report with police, who said they don't suspect foul play.
Wright played in college at Memphis and later for the Grizzlies as a pro. He last played in the league for the Cleveland Cavaliers during the 2008-09 season.
Harris said Wright was last seen at a Memphis barbershop on July 19, where he had his hair cut. Harris did not say who she suspects would have harmed Wright or why, noting only he's always been reachable.
