One current NBA head coach had a startling and disheartening revelation for the wider sports world in a recent interview.
Appearing on The Pivot, Los Angeles Clippers head coach Tyronn Lue revealed that he has lost seven family members since the month of December. But due to his team’s struggles at the time, he said he felt that he couldn’t leave the team to go and mourn them back at home.
“You can always be a good person and sometimes it can be to a fault. Since December I’ve lost seven family members from Mexico (Missouri). But we had lost six games in a row, so I can’t leave my team behind. And I know it’s my family… but seven family members since December and I didn’t go to one funeral – and we lost five games in a row…” Lue said.
NBA fans are offering their sympathies to Lue over his recent personal tragedies. But many are also debating whether it was right for Lue to continue working with the team as opposed to being with his family during such a time:
❤️????????Ty Lue is a good man.

Hard to explain what it’s like being a coach or a teacher but our lives revolve around our player and students ????????????????

We can debate whether it was right for Tyronn Lue to skip going to family funerals to coach the Clippers all we want, but it doesn’t change the loss that Lue suffered in the first place.
The playoffs appear to be within reach for Lue and the Clippers. Nothing would help him overcome his grief quite like the excitement clinching a trip to the postseason.
