Ex-College Basketball Player Dies at 23 Just Before Joining Greek League.
Reggie Chaney, a former college basketball player who was a part of the Houston Cougars’ Final Four team in 2021 and played with the Arkansas Razorbacks, has died. He was 23.
Chaney died on Monday, a person close to the Cougars basketball program told the Houston Chronicle. He was set to play professional basketball in Greece before his death.
“The family of A. E Psychikou, with a deep sorrow, announces that athlete Reggie Chaney who would become a member of our team, died last night in America, of unknown cause, at the age of just 23,” the Greek team wrote on its Facebook.
The cause of death was not immediately known.
“The Razorback men’s basketball family is devastated to hear of the loss of Reggie Chaney. He was a relentless worker and loved by his teammates. His family is in our thoughts and prayers,” Arkansas head coach Eric Musselman wrote on X, the company formerly known as Twitter.
Chaney played one season under Musselman at Arkansas before he transferred to Houston before the start of the 2020-21 season.
Tributes from the basketball world poured in for Chaney.
Chaney was on the Kelvin Sampson-led team that made it to the 2021 Final Four. The Cougars lost to Baylor 78-59 that year. During the 2022-23 season, he was named the American Athletic Conference Sixth Man of the Year.
