was last night apparently. So I'm guessing he's at least okay and stable. But still, having to be transported to Bham is not good.

Oh my God, wow. Anyone heard any details on the crash?

no details - everyone has been very tight lipped, not for any nefarious reasons, but it’s odd how few details are out

BRUCE kinda choked up/shut down the presser when asked about it after the game Monday night... said he spoke to Marquis and surgery was schedule for Tuesday, so it couldn’t have been life threatening waiting 3 days for surgery - but no details on what the injuries are, what the surgery was, recovery timetable, none of that

hope everything’s ok, but I’m gonna keep worrying until I get some better news
 
I can't believe he walked away from that!!


Daniels, the Tigers’ director of player development, was involved in an automobile over the weekend in Auburn and was transported to Birmingham for treatment, the team announced Sunday afternoon. Although he is expected to make a full recovery, further details about the accident or the extent of his injuries have not been disclosed by Auburn. Pearl said Monday that he did not know how long Daniels would remain in the hospital or when he is expected to return to the team.

A two-time All-SEC selection at Auburn during his college career, which spanned 1999-2003, Daniels played 10 seasons in the NBA with four different franchises -- the Dallas Mavericks, Indiana Pacers, Milwaukee Bucks and Boston Celtics -- before retiring after the 2013 season. Daniels returned to his alma mater last season, working on Pearl’s staff as a graduate assistant while earning his master’s degree from Auburn. This offseason he was promoted to director of player development.

An Auburn spokesman said Sunday that more information on Daniels will be released when it becomes available.
