Timberwolves' Sealy
killed in a car accident
Minnesota Timberwolves swingman Malik Sealy was killed
Saturday when his sport utility vehicle was hit head-on by a pickup truck
traveling the wrong way on a divided highway. Sealy, died at the age of
30, because of head and chest injuries after the crash on Highway 100 just
north of a construction zone in suburban St. Louis Park. He was on his
way home after celebrating
the 24th birthday of teammate Kevin Garnett, who had admired Sealy
as a youth. Timberwolves players and players' wives were at Sealy's home
comforting his wife, Lisa, and young son, Malik Remington, said coach Flip
Saunders and Kevin McHale, vice president of basketball operations. "This
is a sudden and devastating loss to our team," McHale said. "We're in shock.
Malik was one of the most popular players in our locker room, and one of
the biggest reasons behind our turnaround and success this past season
on the court."
