- ... that the only NBA player with sickle cell disease nearly died of the affliction on a flight to a game? Source: https://www.si.com/college/2014/03/06/depaul-blue-demons-billy-garret-jr-sickle-cell-disease

- Comment: 2nd of 2 QPQs for this nomination
5x expanded by TonyTheTiger (talk). Self-nominated at 17:16, 27 February 2024 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Billy Garrett Jr.; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.
- DYK check bears out for 5x expansion and is long enough for DYK
- Article appears well-sourced, neutral, BLP-compliant and copyvio appears unlikely
- Hook is formatted well and definitely counts as interesting
- The source is generally compliant. I understand given how reporting works it doesn't literally say within it that he "nearly died", but given the severity of the situation the subject experienced according to the source I'm happy to use that wording.

Once the wording issue has been resolved this is good to go! Sims2aholic8 (talk) 13:31, 3 March 2024 (UTC)
- User:Sims2aholic8, what about source 80?-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 13:44, 3 March 2024 (UTC)
I can't read the full source due to the paywall, however the title is pretty convincing, so yes I'm happy to take that as a relevant source for the hook and I am now approving this DYK submission. Sims2aholic8 (talk) 13:55, 3 March 2024 (UTC)
