Isiah Thomas OD’s on Sleeping Pills
When first came to the Knicks I was extremely happy. I thought he would be able to bring my NY Knicks back to their glory days. That couldn’t be further from the truth. Isiah might have been the worst coach in NY’s history. Today it got worst.
Harrison. N.Y. police were sent to the home of former New York Knicks president Isiah Thomas early Friday morning in response to a call that he had overdosed on sleeping pills, a source confirmed to CBS Station WCBS-TV in New York.
Thomas was rushed to White Plains Hospital for treatment, but his condition is not yet known.
Barry Watkins, vice president of communications for Madison Square Garden, told The Journal News newspaper, “Isiah is fine.”
Sources tell WCBS-TV that police arrived at Thomas’ home shortly after midnight in response to a 911 call from a cell phone and that Thomas’ condition was being classified as an overdose.
According to the Daily News, police say the victim consumed “roughly 10 Lunesta sleeping pills.”
