Herb Turetzky, the only scorekeeper Nets ever needed, has passed

Herb Turetzky, the Nets long-time scorekeeper and NBA legend, has died. He was 76 years old.

The Nets announced the death on Tuesday morning.

“For 54 years, Turetzky was synonymous with Nets Basketball. He was the one constant since the inception of the franchise, and his passing leaves a void that can never be filled. A fixture at center court, he touched the lives of generations of Nets players, staff and fans, leaving an indelible mark on those who knew him. His warm smile and kind-hearted nature will be forever missed by all at Barclays Center, and his legacy will endure for years to come.
