Dan Fegan, a renowned NBA agent, died in a car accident on Sunday at 56, confirmed Colorado authorities. Fegan was driving his SUV on a highway when it was struck by a bus near Aspen, Colorado. Two other passengers were in the vehicle, one of them being his 5-year-old son, and they were airlifted to a hospital. 

Fegan was once considered one of the NBA's most influential agents. He previously represented prominent NBA stars such as Dwight Howard, DeAndre Jordan, DeMarcus Cousins and John Wall. In 2016 he was called one of the industry's most respected agents and his client list of NBA stars speaks to that respect. However, Fegan went through a brief period where many of those stars began to move on from him. Howard, Jordan and Wall all parted ways with Fegan and eventually his employer Independent Sports & Entertainment (ISE) did as well.

In early 2017, Fegan was fired from his position for what ISE claimed was "poisoning employer's business." The two sides were involved in a lawsuit over the claims.
