A lot of fans are waiting for the latest news on Dikembe Mutombo's condition after it was revealed that the basketball legend is undergoing treatment for brain tumor. On Friday, fellow NBA icon Alonzo Mourning dropped some update on Mutombo and even shared the photo he took with him.
According to Mourning, who played with Mutombo during their collegiate days in Georgetown, his good friend and former teammate is “on the mend and in good spirits.” In the photo Mourning uploaded on Instagram, the longtime Denver Nuggets and Atlanta Hawks big man can be seen smiling as well–though he looked thinner compared to before based on photos of him.
