NBA G League star Zeke Upshaw died after he collapsed on court during the last minute of a game on Saturday night.
Upshaw, who was part of the Detroit Pistons organization, suffered cardiac arrest, according to reports. He was just 26 years old.
An autopsy conducted on the body of Zeke Upshaw showed that he died of “sudden cardiac death” and had “cardiac abnormalities,” (slightly enlarged heart) according to the Grand Rapids, Michigan medical examiner.
The Pistons held a moment of silence in Upshaw's memory Monday night before their home game against the Los Angeles Lakers. The G League also pushed back the start of its playoffs, delaying not just the Drive's upcoming game but the entire first round.
The conference quarterfinal games scheduled for March 27 and 28 have been moved to March 30 and 31, 2018
G League president Malcolm Turner said the league was "devastated" by Upshaw's death.
Our thoughts and prayers are with his family.
