Washington Wizards guard Bub Carrington appreciates the support that head coach Brian Keefe showed when his late father Bub Sr. became ill during 2024 NBA Summer League.

(via Washington Wizards):

“It was my first summer league right after I got drafted, my father got sick out in [Las] Vegas. So I had to stay out in Vegas for a lot longer than I wanted to. They found like a blood clot in his shoulder and he was on blood thinners, and obviously you can’t fly with that. So, I’m stuck in Vegas. And lo and behold, obviously BK was in that hospital room with me, my mom, and my dad that whole time we was there. We had to stay like 4 or 5 days extra, and BK was there every single one of those days. And like I said, we couldn’t fly, so we ended up having to drive from Vegas to Baltimore all the way home. And BK even offered, I forced him not to. I’m like, ‘Bro, go home.’ But he even wanted to make that drive back with me and my family after my dad got sick, so I think that’s the type of guy BK is.”
