Former Spurs owner McCombs dies at 95

A former owner of two NBA teams, an NFL franchise and longtime Texas businessman, Billy Joe “Red” McCombs has died at his home in San Antonio, according to a statement from his family on Monday.

McCombs was 95 and preceded in death by his wife, Charline, in 2019.

McCombs owned more than 400 businesses during his lifetime, according to the McCombs Enterprises website, and the McCombs School of Business at The University of Texas at Austin is named for him.

He twice owned the San Antonio Spurs and between those two ownership stints owned the Denver Nuggets and later the Minnesota Vikings of the NFL.

Two former NBA players will spend years in federal prison after admitting to participating in a plan to defraud the league’s health care plan with false claims for medical and dental expenses.

Keyon Dooling, 42, who played for seven teams over 13 years in the NBA, was sentenced on Friday to spend 30 months in prison. That comes after Alan Anderson, 40, who suited up for five teams over a span of 12 years, got two years in prison on Feb. 10.
