Harvey Pollack, who tallied everything from triple doubles to player tattoos as the mastermind of N.B.A. statistics going back to the league’s creation in 1946, died on Tuesday in Philadelphia. Pollack, the last still-active N.B.A. team employee from that inaugural season, was 93.
His death was announced by the 76ers, the successor franchise in Philadelphia to the Philadelphia Warriors, for whom he first worked. At his death he was director of statistical information for the 76ers.
Pollack had been hospitalized since Jan. 1, when he suffered multiple injuries in an auto accident after working as a judge in Philadelphia’s annual Mummers Parade.
