Boston Celtics legend John Havlicek died Thursday at the age of 79.
NBA commissioner Adam Silver also released a statement.
No player has played more games, more minutes, or scored more points in a Celtics uniform than Havlicek. He played 16 seasons as a Celtic and was named an All-Star in 13 of them.
“Hondo”, as everyone lovingly called him, was known for his impressive work ethic and incredible all-around ability throughout his lengthy career.
He’ll be sorely missed.
