Stacey King has passed away at 59 years old. A three-time NBA champion with the Chicago Bulls across eight NBA seasons after being the No. 6 pick in the 1989 draft, and a beloved broadcaster for the team in his post-playing career.
"The whole world thought Chicago will take me at 4… When Chicago drafted Patrick Williams it was a surprise. Nobody really thought about him going four... nobody really knew his name."

Jaden Ivey reportedly told the Bulls’ head of player performance on March 25 that Jesus healed his knee and he was ready to play, per @JoelXLorenzi
He underwent an MRI the next day, and Chicago shut him down for the season.
