April 11, 2018 will be a day that owns its own dark space in the sports world forever.

The world is in shock over the news that the New York Knicks team plane suffered mechanical failures on its way back from Cleveland to end the season. The engines failed catastrophically as the plane was returning to New York.

The plane was carrying 131 players, coaches, front office personal and support staff in addition to the crew. There were no survivors.

New York Knicks owner James Dolan was also on board when the plane crashed. The NBA has been largely silent on the tragedy as words seem hollow in the face of not just a sports loss but a major loss of life for the whole world to mourn.

President trump tweeted immediately following the crash:

tragic news about the Knicks team plane our thoughts and prayers go out to the players and team family members who are hurting right now. Huge Tragedy.

Players around the NBA have taken to tweeting a knicks logo, a candle, and the hashtag #prayfornewyork.

The question eventually will be what happens to the Knicks. But tonight the question is what will happen to the families. At times like this basketball can wait.
