Dr. Anthony F. Daly, the longtime team physician for the Los Angeles Clippers, has died. He was 74.

Daly died at his home Friday following a lengthy battle with prostate cancer, said Dr. Robert S. Bray Jr., the executive director and founder of DISC Spine and Sports Center, where Daly was the director of sports medicine.

Daly served as the Clippers' team physician since the club moved to Los Angeles in 1984.

"Dr. Daly and his visionary approach to athletics paved the way for the field of sports medicine," Bray said in a statement. "He will leave a lasting legacy in the sports world that will be hard to match."

Daly had served as the medical director or team physician for numerous sporting events and athletic teams, including head physician at the 1980 Winter Olympics and the U.S. "Miracle on Ice" gold medal hockey team and medical director for the 1994 World Cup Soccer.

That is sad to hear. Prostate cancer scares the crap out of me. Everybody make sure you get checked, no matter how unpleasant the process is.

I'm gonna make sure my prostate is healthy, I know it's no joke. We lost a valuable member of the Clippers organization, he will be hard to replace.
