NBA Legend Jerry Sloan 'Is Dying,' Dementia and Parkinson's Worsening

Friends of legendary Utah Jazz coach Jerry Sloan -- who has been battling dementia and Parkinson's disease -- are asking for prayers with one close friend saying, "He is dying."

77-year-old Sloan revealed his battle with the diseases back in 2016 after the symptoms became noticeable. According to the Salt Lake Tribune's Gordon Monson, things have gotten much worse recently ... with one source who's close to Jerry telling the reporter he doesn't have much time left.

"He’s frail. He’s physically and mentally limited. Around the clock care is required for him," Monson says in his report.
