Former SMU and NBA basketball player Quinton Ross had to ease the fears of friends and family members after he was erroneously reported dead.
Ross lives in the suburbs near Dallas and was attending Monday night’s NIT game between LSU and SMU.
He said he woke to a phone loaded with messages from people concerned about his well-being.
“My phone was going crazy,” he said. “I checked Facebook. Finally, I went on the Internet, and they were saying I was dead. I just couldn’t believe it.”
