Isiah overdoses

WCBS in New York is reporting that former New York Knicks president Isiah Thomas overdosed on sleeping pills.

Thomas was rushed to White Plains Hospital for treatment, but his condition is not yet known.

Sources told the television station that police arrived at Thomas' home shortly after midnight Friday morning in response to a 911 call from a cell phone.

Thomas was fired by the Knicks on April 18.

“Isiah Thomas spoke with members of the New York Knicks organization and is ok," the team said in a statement. "He is dealing with a family matter and we will have no further comment. He has asked that we respect his privacy, and we will."

I've met 'Zeke' before and this is tough to swallow. I don't think he was legitimately trying to off himself. 10 pills is a lot of pills but if you were really trying to take care of the deed you would swallow way more.
