That's horrible. This is some scary stuff. It's crazy to think we've let it get this bad. So disappointing/depressing.

This is so sad. You could tell he loved the game anytime I saw him on NBA TV. There's an outpouring of support on Twitter right now from his peers saying he was the nicest guy too.

RIP, Sekou.

Wow he did some great work for NBATV. Looked unrecognizable when he went through that big weight loss years ago. Either way RIP

Truly saddened. Was a fan of his since his Hawks beat writer days. Good guy.

RIP. He was a big part of NBA TV and by all accounts, he was beloved by his peers in sports media. Really tragic news.

Man, just awful. His family is in my prayers. :-(

Damn damn damn. I remember him from his Hawks days. Horrible news. He was a fair reporter and called it without a homer slant once he went national.

RIP Sekou.

i just did a google news on him and the result was a 2wk old zoom discussion on bet about covid cancellations, and of course he seemed fine
