CLEVELAND — Steve Kerr said he was “devastated” at hearing former NBA player Sean Rooks had died Tuesday night. Rooks was 46.
Kerr and Rooks both attended the University of Arizona, and their sons were teammates this season at the University of California.
“Sean and I played together at Arizona, and I was devastated by the news,” the Warriors coach said after Golden State’s shootaround Wednesday. “”All of us who knew Sean are just crushed. It’s a horrible loss and we’re thinking most about Sean’s two kids, Kameron and Khayla, and hoping they’re doing OK. But it’s a huge loss.
