HOUSTON -- The son of former NBA coach Rick Adelman was killed in an auto-pedestrian accident in downtown Houston.
Police say 44-year-old Richard "R.J." Adelman was not using a crosswalk to cross the street when he was struck and killed Feb. 2 by a minivan. No charges were filed against the driver.
Adelman had been an assistant on his father's staff when the elder Adelman coached the Houston Rockets from 2007 to '11. He also was player personnel director for the Minnesota Timberwolves when his father coached there.
The Rockets issued a statement, saying: "The Rockets organization is deeply saddened to hear of the passing of former assistant coach R.J. Adelman. Our thoughts and prayers are with Rick, Mary Kay, and the entire Adelman family during this very difficult time."
The Timberwolves also released a statement, saying: "Our deepest thoughts and condolences are with the family and friends of R.J. Adelman." |
