Tragic Loss: Cavaliers Owner's Son Passes Away at 26

Nick Gilbert, the son of Cleveland Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert, has died at the age of 26 due to complications related to neurofibromatosis (NF1), a genetic condition that causes non-cancerous tumors to grow on the brain, spinal cord, and skin. Gilbert rose to prominence when he represented the Cavs at the 2011 NBA draft lottery, which was won by Cleveland. The Cavs later used the pick on Duke PG Kyrie Irving, who became a perennial All-Star and later paired with Cavs legend LeBron James to win a championship in 2016. The younger Gilbert represented the Cavs at several more draft lotteries, including when Cleveland earned the No. 1 pick in 2013 and 2014.
