The Orlando Magic family is mourning a bit this week with the sudden passing of former center Sean Rooks and former guard Brooks Thompson this week.
Rooks, 46, collapsed in a Philadelphia restaurant from an apparent heart attack after meeting with the New York Knicks to become an assistant coach. Rooks, who was an assistant coach with the Philadelphia 76ers, was thought of as an engaging coach and one of the up and comers in the industry.
He was also receiving offers to coach Charlotte’s new D-League team in Greensboro.
