On Thursday night, it was announced that former UCLA and New Mexico basketball player Drew Gordon passed away due to a car accident.
Gordon is the older brother of Denver Nuggets star Aaron Gordon. He played two seasons at UCLA before playing his final two college seasons at New Mexico.
He spent a brief time in the NBA with the Philadelphia 76ers before playing overseas, and he passed away at the young age of 33. Fans mourned the loss of Gordon, and even though he was at UCLA for not even two full seasons, Bruins fans remembered him well.
