Suns legend Paul Westphal diagnosed with brain cancer

He led the Phoenix Suns to their only two NBA Finals appearances in the franchise’s 52 year history, but now former guard and coach Paul Westphal might not be able to enjoy the Suns next one.

Westphal has been diagnosed with brain cancer, revealed today by long time friend Mike Lupicka.

Warmest wishes to one of the game’s greats and a even kinder man: Paul Westphal, inducted into the @Hoophall last September, has been diagnosed with brain cancer, according to his close pal @MikeLupica. Best to Westy .
