He hasn’t yet released a comment about his sister’s death but shared two pictures on Instagram that appear to be them together as young kids.
Reid’s other sister, Jakahya, wrote on Facebook: ‘I love you forever and always.
‘We always send our condolences and say we would never imagine ourselves in that situation… and yet here I am. Facing the unimaginable.
‘I just talked to you last night… not even knowing what was waiting on you the very next morning. I’ll never get over this, I’ll never forgive God for taking you away from me.
‘I don’t know what kind of sick plan that man above has but I know losing you couldn’t have been a part of it. I’m disgusted. I’m hurt. But most of all, I’m angry. I will never be ok.’
Reid grew up in New Jersey before attending LSU and spending his NBA career with the Timberwolves since going undrafted in 2019.
An elite shooter and physical center, Reid signed a three-year, $42million deal with the Timberwolves in June 2023 after establishing himself as one of the game’s premiere bench players.
