Curry, Green to sit out first-half finale vs. Suns

The Miami Heat legend has been trading jerseys with other players throughout the season, but the most emotional swaps have come from everyday people.

Wes Unseld, the workmanlike Hall of Fame center who led Washington to its only NBA championship and was chosen one of the 50 greatest players in league history, died Tuesday after a series of health issues, most recently pneumonia. Unseld’s family announced his death via a statement released by the Washington Wizards, the franchise he played for throughout his entire 13-season career. A five-time All-Star and, along with Wilt Chamberlain, one of only two players to win NBA Rookie of the Year and MVP honors in the same season, Unseld instantly made the team then known as the Baltimore Bullets into a winning franchise after it selected him No. 2 overall in the 1968 draft.
