Kevin Duckworth, the former center for the Portland Trail Blazers, died on Monday while on a trip to the Oregon Coast to hold a free basketball clinic. Duckworth, 44, is survived by his fiancée and two young children.

The 7-foot tall player spent 11 seasons in the NBA and helped Portland reach the finals in 1990 and 1992. Duckworth, a two-time All-Star, also played for San Antonio, Washington, Milwaukee and the Los Angeles Clippers.

In a statement, Trail Blazers president Larry Miller said, "Kevin will be remembered by fans as one of the most popular and recognizable players to ever wear the Blazers uniform, but to people who knew him, he'll be remembered as one of the warmest and biggest-hearted."

The cause of death was still undetermined.

Our thoughts go out to Kevin Duckworth's family and friends.
