Mother and brother of former NBA player die after battling the coronavirus

Erica Telfair, the mother of former NBA player Sebastian Telfair, died after contracting COVID-19, the New York Post reports.

Just a few weeks before his mother’s death, Dan Telfair, Sebastian’s older brother died of the disease on March 28, according to the report.

Dwayne “Tiny” Morton, the former head coach at Abraham Lincoln High School, where Sebastian previously played, confirmed the deaths to the New York Post. In an interview published last month, Stephon Marbury, a cousin of Telfair, also confirmed Dan’s death in an interview with Undefeated. At the time, Marbury said Erica was “fighting for her life” due to COVID-19.

“It has been a real challenge for me,” said Marbury during the interview. “I lost my cousin to this virus, my cousin Sebastian, his older brother. We lost him two days ago. His mother is fighting for her life right now because of the virus. It is quite difficult. It is a difficult moment.”

Sebastian and his younger brother Ethan turned to social media to mourn the death of their mother and brother.
