“Our heartfelt condolences go to his wife Heather and their children Gabriel, Rielly, and Cameron.”

Fellow NBA writer Marc J. Spears paid tribute to Sekou — saying, “Thank you for your brotherly friendship, humor, honesty and compassion. Glad we had a chance to tell each other we loved each other three weeks ago.

“You were a gift to this Earth as a friend, father and a man Sekou Smith. Rest In Peace to my brother. Prayers to your wife & family.”

RIP
