Wells had been an Atlanta-area NBA agent going back more than a decade, representing players like Dale Davis and Ramon Sessions. But his certification with the NBPA lapsed. Through his friend Anderson, Wells got involved with Williamson’s AAU team, SC Supreme, and the plan had been to have him recertify as an agent and represent Williamson. But when that plan fell through this spring, Williamson did not have an official agent and top agencies across the country piled into the process. Among those were Creative Artists Agency, Roc Nation, Klutch Sports and BDA Sports.

Two years ago Wednesday, nine people perished in a helicopter crash in the hills northwest of Los Angeles, including the NBA legend and their 13-year-old daughter Gianna. Vanessa Bryant and her three other daughters are among those who have been trying to cope ever since. “Would you say you’ve been getting better or getting worse, you know?” the attorney asked her in a legal proceeding Oct. 12. “How do you feel?” “Grief isn’t linear,” Vanessa Bryant replied, according to a partial transcript of it filed in court last week. “It’s – every day is different, and I try to my best to put a smile on my face for my little girls. I want them to live in the love and not in the loss. And I make a conscious effort to try to portray that everything’s fine for them.”

Understandable anguish persists. In her deposition testimony in October, Miller asked her if she still was seeing her previous therapist. “I have stopped,” she replied, according to the partial transcript filed last week. “I don’t like – I don’t have the ability to talk to him because it puts me in a difficult space and I need to – I don’t want to bring those feelings up to surface.” She also said she didn’t start seeing another therapist because “I don’t like talking about everything that happened. I internalize a lot.”
