Basketball Hall of Famer K.C. Jones, an Olympic gold medalist and two-time NCAA champion who won eight straight NBA titles during the Celtics’ Bill Russell era and then coached the Boston teams with Larry Bird, Kevin McHale and Robert Parish to two more championships in the 1980s, has died. The Celtics said Jones’ family confirmed that he died on Friday at an assisted living facility in Connecticut, where he had been receiving care for Alzheimer’s disease for several years.

Khris Middleton said he was looking forward to going home and eating more fruit snacks with his daughter.

Despite losing many players to either positive COVID-19 tests or contact tracing, nine members of the Rockets flew to Portland on Friday.
