The health of former Utah Jazz coach Jerry Sloan has declined rapidly, according to a report from the Salt Lake Tribune which quotes a close source as saying that the 77-year-old “is dying.”
Illinois-born Sloan, who in 2016 disclosed that he was suffering from dementia and Parkinson’s disease, is reportedly now “frail… physically and mentally limited,” and requires round-the-clock care, according to the Tribune’s Gordon Monson.
