Brent Darby (June 6, 1981 – December 6, 2011)[1] was an American professional basketball player.
Darby played college basketball with the Ohio State Buckeyes, between 1999 and 2003, and was a part of two Big Ten champion teams.
[2][3] After college, Darby played professional basketball internationally, from 2003 until 2009,[4] in Israel, Poland, Spain, and France (Limoges CSP), and he also spent several years in Italy (Pepsi Juvecaserta Basket, Giorgio Tesi PT, Banco di Sardegna Sassari, S.S. Felice Scandone (Sidigas AV), Umana Reyer Venezia Mestre).
Darby eventually had to stop playing basketball, as he battled a series of blood clot problems.
Doctors implanted filters in Darby's body to break up clots before they reached his lungs, and he had a surgery to remove a large clot from his leg.
