Legendary Sixers center Darryl Dawkins dies at 58
Longtime 76ers center Darryl Dawkins died Thursday at the age of 58.
The cause of death is unknown.
A Lehigh Valley Hospital-Cedar Crest spokesperson confirmed to Comcast SportsNet that Dawkins died there on Thursday.
One of the most popular players in the history of the Sixers franchise and the NBA, Dawkins was the first player drafted by an NBA team straight out of high school when he left Maynard Evans High in Orlando, Fla. for the Sixers as the No. 5 overall pick in the 1975 draft.
