Tony Brown, who officiated more than 1,100 NBA games over almost two decades, has died after a battle with pancreatic cancer. He was 55. Brown was diagnosed with Stage 4 pancreatic cancer in April 2021 and recovered to the point where he was able to return to work in the NBA replay center last season. His family said that Brown had entered hospice care in recent days. Brown was selected to officiate a pair of NBA All-Star games, plus worked a game in the 2020 NBA Finals between the Los Angeles Lakers and Miami Heat.
