What happened: The NBA announced the death of Naismith Hall of Famer Cliff Hagan. He spent his entire NBA career with St. Louis and played a key role in the 1958 championship.

Why it matters: He also won an NCAA championship at Kentucky, giving him titles at both college and pro levels. That 1958 crown remains the championship lineage carried into the Atlanta Hawks era.

What to watch: Further details on services and team tributes are expected.
