Former NBA center Shawn Bradley paralyzed as result of bike accident | The Jump
SALT LAKE CITY A former BYU and NBA star was left paralyzed after being struck by a vehicle while riding his bicycle in January, according to details released by his ex-team, the Dallas Mavericks.
Shawn Bradley released the first public details Wednesday of an accident that happened on Jan. 20 near his St. George home. The 7-foot-6 former Mavericks center was riding his bicycle about a block from his house and was hit from behind by a vehicle.
The accident left Bradley with a traumatic spinal cord injury that left him paralyzed. After undergoing neck fusion surgery, the Emery High product was hospitalized for eight weeks and has been undergoing rehabilitation.
In a unanimous 5-0 decision at its January 19 meeting, the Emeryville City Council approved the final step necessary to rename a street in front of Emery High School after a late instructor who had been fired for receiving gender confirmation surgery.
In May 2020, the council voted unanimously to name the block of 47th Street between San Pablo Avenue and Doyle Street after Steve Dain, a trans man who taught gym at Emery High between 1966 and 1976.

The couple tied the knot at a private ceremony in Salt Lake City, Utah.
Together they have
six children: daughters Chelsea Bradley, Ciera Bradley, Charity Bradley, and Cheyenne Bradley along with sons Chase Bradley and Chance Bradley.
