Terrible news out of Memphis.... Rest in Peace....
Based on what I have found so far, he was arrested last month for leading police on a high-speed chase and was charged with possession and trafficking a controlled substance, and fleeing. The last 4 years, he has dealt with a torn Achilles, knee, and calf injuries that forced him to miss all but two games this year and all but six games in the 2023-2024 season. The guy was dealing with some huge setbacks for his young career.
Prayers for his family and the Grizzlies organization.
Wow that is horrible.
Injuries really got him good.... 7-year career but only played a little over 300 games.... I hate to say it, but given the injury history, I wonder if he got hooked on painkillers.... it's no secret that the Leagues and people around the players have either overprescribed or helped players get painkillers.
It has to wear on you but man its sad to see. So young. Had all the money anyone would need. Even if he never played in the NBA again he could have had a great life.
