Former Maryland basketball star and New York Knicks first-round pick Jerrod Mustaf passed away on his 55th birthday, with no cause of death revealed. Mustaf played two seasons at Maryland before being drafted by the Knicks in 1990. His NBA career ended after three seasons due to controversy surrounding the murder of his pregnant girlfriend, for which he was never charged. Mustaf then focused on charity work and the foundation his father started. Georgia Tech, where his son Jaeden currently plays, expressed condolences. Mustaf’s alma mater, Maryland, also mourned his passing. Mustaf’s basketball career was cut short, but his impact on the D.C. community through charity work was significant.
