Former Archbishop Mitty basketball standout Drew Gordon died in a car crash in Portland, Oregon, on Thursday, his agent told ESPN’s Marc Spears.
Gordon, the older brother of Denver Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon, was 33 years old.
The San Jose native led Mitty to three West Catholic Athletic League championships and was the Mercury News’ player of the year in 2007.
He graduated in 2008 as a McDonald’s All-American.
Gordon went on to play UCLA and then New Mexico before starting his professional basketball career.
He went undrafted by NBA in 2012.
Except for nine games with the 2014-15 Philadelphia 76ers, Gordon spent his entire career playing in Europe and the G-League.
He retired in 2023.
Gordon is survived by his wife, Angela, and sons Zane and Brody.
