Philadelphia 76ers Statement on Passing of Legend Dolph Schayes
“We are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Dolph Schayes, a pioneer and iconic member of the Philadelphia 76ers organization and one of the greatest players ever to play the game of basketball,” said Sixers Chief Executive Officer Scott O’Neil. “Dolph was an integral part of the foundation on which this franchise was built – first in Syracuse and later in Philadelphia. He will be fondly remembered for the legacy he not only created on the court, but the way he represented the game off the court.
“On behalf of our entire organization, we would like to express our deepest sympathies to the entire Schayes family during this very difficult time.”
