    FORMER PBA import Anthony Grundy passed away on Thursday (Friday Manila time), according to multiple reports. He was 40.

    The cause of death has yet to be known at posting time.

    The former North Carolina State standout is best remembered in the Philippines for his stint with Petron in the 2011 PBA Governors’ Cup where he joined the Blaze Boosters as a replacement import midway through the conference.

    Grundy led the Boosters, now the San Miguel Beermen, to the championship, beating Talk ‘N Text in seven games and in the process stopping the bid of the Tropang Texters to win the Grand Slam that year.

    Grundy scored a team-high 26 points in Game Seven.

    Aside from the Philippines, Grundy also played in Greece, and had a stint with the Atlanta Hawks in 2006. A few months ago, Grundy was arrested for a hit-and-run crash in Kentucky.

    Tributes poured in as news of his death spread, including one from Grundy’s former teammate and now Indiana University head coach Archie Miller.

    Indiana Pacers guard TJ Warren, who also played for NC State in college, also paid tribute to Grundy who he called a 'legend.'
