NBA Hall of Famer Dikembe Mutombo, one of the best defenders in the league’s history, is undergoing treatment for a brain tumor, the league announced Saturday.
WASHINGTON —
He played for several teams throughout his long career, including the Denver Nuggets, the Philadelphia 76ers, the Atlanta Hawks and the then New Jersey Nets. “Dikembe and his family ask for privacy during this time so they can focus on his care. They are grateful for your prayers and good wishes.” Mutombo and Olajuwon were the first major basketball talents from Africa to make a name in the NBA, opening the door for others such as Luol Dieng and Joel Embiid.
