Here’s the Dallas Morning News reporting on former NBA center Roy Tarpley, who sadly passed away recently:
Former Maverick Roy Tarpley, who died last Friday at the age of 50, will be buried Saturday morning in Mobile, Ala.
Assistant general manager Keith Grant and director of basketball development Rolando Blackman will represent the Mavericks at the private ceremony.
“I think it’s important for me, as a person, and for the franchise,” Grant said Friday. “I spent a lot of time with Roy. There’s a lot of blood, sweat and tears on both sides there. I think it’s the right thing to do.”
