BIRMINGHAM, Ala.(AP) -- Alan Ogg, a 7-foot-2 shotblocker who
played for UAB and spent parts of three seasons in the NBA, died
Sunday from complications from a staph infection, a university
spokesman said. He was 42.
UAB spokesman Norm Reilly said Ogg died at UAB Hospital.
Ogg played 80 NBA games over three seasons beginning in 1990
with the Miami Heat, who had a moment of silence Sunday night
before playing Chicago. He also played for Milwaukee and
Washington, and averaged 2.2 points and 1.7 rebounds during his
career.
Ogg is UAB's career leader with 266 blocked shots over four
seasons, averaging more than two a game. He also is third in
field-goal percentage, and averaged 6.4 points.
