Ex NBA Commissioner David Stern Suffers a Brain Hemorrhage at New York’s Brasserie

Former NBA Commissioner David Stern has suffered a sudden brain hemorrhage and underwent emergency surgery on Thursday.

Stern, 77, collapsed at New York City restaurant Brasserie 8 1/2 around 2pm and the fire department responded to a 911 cardiac arrest call.

The NBA confirmed late night that Stern ‘suffered a sudden brain hemorrhage earlier today’, adding: ‘Our thoughts and prayers are with David and his family.’

Stern was rushed to Mount Sinai St Luke’s Hospital where the NBA said in a statement ‘he underwent emergency surgery’.

Stern served exactly 30 years from 1984-2014 as the NBA’s longest-tenured commissioner before Adam Silver replaced him on February 1, 2014.
