The NBA is in mourning today following the passing of a former player who suited up for the Los Angeles Lakers, as well as a few other teams.

TMZ Sports has confirmed that former guard Darius Morris died this week, with his family having offered the publication a statement.

“With great sadness we announce the passing of our dearly beloved son, Darius Aaron Morris,” it reads. “During this time of transition, his family asks that you please respect their wishes for privacy and grace.”
