Sports at a glance: Ex-Bull King dies at 59

CHICAGO — Stacey King, who played on three consecutive NBA championship teams with the Chicago Bulls from 1991-93 before returning to the organization as an Emmy-winning broadcaster, died. He was 59.

The Bulls announced that King died Sunday and said a family member had notified them. No other details were immediately available.

King played from 1989-97 during an NBA career that also included stops in Minnesota, Miami, Boston and Dallas. He later spent over two decades as a commentator on Bulls games and delighted fans with his memorable calls and nicknames.

The Bulls selected the 6-foot-11 forward/center out of Oklahoma with the sixth overall pick in the 1989 draft. He averaged 6.6 points and 3.3 rebounds over his five seasons with the Bulls.

He helped lead Oklahoma to the 1988 NCAA Championship Game, where the Sooners lost to Kansas.

Serena might play singles
