Fisk said in a statement Tuesday that the university community extends its “thoughts and prayers” to Anderson and his family.

A family spokeswoman, Lina Catalfamo Plath, confirmed that Anderson had a stroke. Anderson played for several NBA teams from 1991-2005. He was named an All-Star in 1994 while playing for the New Jersey Nets, who selected him out of Georgia Tech with the No. 2 overall pick in the 1991 draft.
