gg Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 very sad http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=2192066 ATLANTA -- Atlanta Hawks center Jason Collier died Saturday morning, possibly of cardiac arrest, the team said. He was 28. Hawks spokesman Arthur Triche said no other details immediately were available and did not say where Collier was when he died. Collier experienced chest pains at his home Friday and his wife performed CPR and called 911, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported. Hawks players were notified of Collier's death at 9:30 a.m. Saturday morning before a scheduled workout was canceled, according to the paper. The 7-foot, 260-pound Collier, a five-year NBA player, spent his first three seasons with Houston before joining Atlanta in 2003. He averaged 5.6 points and 2.9 rebounds in his career. Collier played for Georgia Tech and was drafted by Milwaukee in the first round, with the 15th pick overall, in the 2000 NBA draft. He was later traded Houston. Information from The Associated Press was used in this report. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
