Chicago basketball lost one of its most recognisable voices this weekend after former Bulls player and longtime broadcaster Stacey King died suddenly at the age of 59. Tributes poured in across the NBA after reports emerged that King suffered a fall at his home before his death.

The Chicago Bulls confirmed King's passing on Saturday but did not disclose a cause of death. Hours later, ESPN 1000 co-host David Kaplan wrote on X that King had died 'after a fall at his home', a detail that quickly spread among stunned fans still trying to process the abrupt loss of one of the franchise's most familiar figures.
