Hal Greer, a Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Famer and former Sixers great, has died, the team announced Monday.
Mr. Greer, 81, played 15 seasons (1958-73) in the NBA, five with the Syracuse Nationals and 10 with the Sixers. He won an NBA championship with the Sixers in 1967 and was a 10-time NBA All-Star.
Mr. Greer was the first player to have his number retired by the 76ers organization, as his No. 15 was honored in 1976.
The 76ers will celebrate Mr. Greer’s life and legacy at tonight’s game at the Wells Fargo Center.
More to come.
