The Florida State basketball family is mourning the loss of Ryan Reid, who played for the Seminoles from 2006-10 and died on Wednesday. He was 38.

Reid averaged 6.8 points and 4.0 rebounds as a senior in 2009-10. He was drafted by the Indiana Pacers in the second round and then traded to the Oklahoma City Thunder. He played in five games for OKC during the 2011-12 season before beginning a professional career in France, Canada, Japan and Puerto Rico.

Coach Luke Loucks played two seasons with Reid at FSU.

“Ryan was more than just a great basketball player — he was a great competitor, a trusted teammate, a natural leader, a devoted husband, and a loving father,” Loucks posted on Twitter/X on Thursday. “He was a mountain of a man, both in stature and in spirit — always standing tall for the people he cared about. His personality filled every room, his sense of humor lifted every moment, and his presence made us all better — on and off the court. I’ll forever be grateful for the battles we shared, the laughs we had, and the memories we built together.

“You’ll be deeply missed, Ryan. Your legacy lives on through the lives you touched and the love you gave. No words make your passing easier, but your life will be celebrated by your friends, your family, and your fans.”

Reid was a basketball star at Lauderdale Lakes’ Boyd Anderson before arriving at FSU in 2006 and playing for coach Leonard Hamilton. He averaged 5 points and 3.9 rebounds in his career, in which he was known for his defense. Reid also accumulated 71 blocks and 68 steals.

The Seminoles reached the NCAA Tournament in Reid’s final two seasons in Tallahassee.
