Jeez that's horrible news for him. Didn't he lose his first wife due to someone drinking and driving?

20 year marriage. She died in front of 3 of their children in the car when hit by a driver on meth.

The highs and lows he's experienced in the last couple decades are pretty extreme. Heartbreaking.

Good on the Pistons. Honestly despite the lack of winning, they seem like a top-class franchise.

Sheesh. First Budenholzer with the tragedy of his brother’s death, now Monty. Don’t know when he necessarily heard the news, but it makes total sense if he wasn’t totally focused during the playoffs.
