Former Celtic Fab Melo Dies In Brazil At Age 26

BOSTON (CBS) — Former Boston Celtic center Fab Melo passed away in Brazil on Saturday, according to a report from SNY’s Adam Zagoria. Melo was just 26-years-old.

The Brazilian big man was reportedly found dead in his own home, possibly suffering a heart attack while he was sleeping.

The seven-footer was a standout center for two years at Syracuse before being drafted by the Boston Celtics with the No. 23 overall pick in the 2012 NBA Draft.

Melo played six games with Boston during his rookie year, but spent the majority of the season with the Maine Red Claws, putting up some big numbers for one stretch but he was eventually slowed by a concussion after walking into a doorway.

He was traded to the Memphis Grizzlies in the summer of 2013 but fell out of the NBA shortly thereafter. He played pro basketball in recent seasons in Puerto Rico and Brazil.

Reaction and condolences continue to stream in from players and coaches from all around the league in the aftermath of the unfortunate news, including from former Celtic teammate Paul Pierce.

RIP Fab Melo can't believe this

So sad, the kid had all the physical tools to be a great defensive impact center!

God Speed Fab!
