ASPEN, Colo. — Colorado authorities said longtime NBA agent Dan Fegan died in a car crash Sunday. He was 56.
The Colorado State Patrol said Fegan was driving an SUV when he tried to merge onto a highway and was broadsided by a commuter bus near Aspen, which is about 180 miles west of Denver.
Colorado state trooper Gabe Easton told the Aspen Times the SUV’s other occupants, Fegan’s 5-year-old son and a 29-year-old California woman, were airlifted to a Denver hospital in serious condition.
No one on the bus was hurt. The CEO of Roaring Fork Transportation Authority said the driver didn’t have time to avoid the collision.
I can’t believe you are gone. I am forever grateful for what you did for me and will never forget that. This isn’t fair but i know you are in a better place and we will have a glass of red again someday. #RipDanFegan pic.twitter.com/uyQXuXaQuC

In 2016, Fegan was on Forbes magazine’s list of top agents. Among the players he had represented are John Wall, DeMarcus Cousins and Dwight Howard.
“I knew Dan as a friend and a neighbor long before we developed a team executive-player agent relationship,” Trail Blazers president of basketball operations Neil Olshey said. “The NBA players he represented have lost a tireless advocate for their interests and well being while NBA teams will miss having a highly intelligent, professional representative to partner with in the management and development of his clients on their rosters.”
Information from The Associated Press and ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski was used in this report.
