Plot Synopsis

Each one-hour episode of MURDER & BASKETBALL delves into the play-by-play of law enforcement, friends and family as they investigate a murder that has a connection to basketball -- through the victim, suspect, or location. In the season opener, "Foul Play," a promising young college basketball star goes missing at the peak of his success; several suspects emerge in the midst of the scandal, but detectives wonder who and why would anyone go to such lengths to conceal his murder. Then, in the second episode, "A Deadly Turn," a beloved teacher and father fails to show up at work, and colleagues urge the police to do a welfare check on his home; investigators face a brutal homicide scene, and the community wonders who could commit such a deadly crime.
