As a rookie, Lewis played sporadically, averaging 8.3 minutes per game under coach K. C. Jones. By his second season, thanks in part to a new coach (and an injury to Celtics star Larry Bird) Lewis averaged over 30 minutes and scored 18.5 points per game. Lewis was selected to play in his first and only NBA All-Star Game held in Orlando, Florida, 1992. He played 15 minutes, scoring 7 points and grabbing 4 rebounds.
The Boston Celtics responded by expressing sadness about the “vicious attack on Reggie Lewis and his family” and threatening “to file a $100 million lawsuit against the reporter, The Wall Street Journal and its parent company, Dow Jones and Co. Inc.” Dr. Gilbert Mudge, a doctor who treated Lewis, was sued for malpractice in connection with Lewis’ death; in written responses to questions from the attorneys for Donna Harris-Lewis, Mudge said that “16 days before Lewis collapsed from a heart attack in 1993, he acknowledged having used cocaine, but said he had stopped.” On the other hand, the doctor who performed the autopsy on Lewis testified that the scarring on his heart was inconsistent with cocaine use, and other doctors reached the same conclusion though they “stopped short of saying he never used drugs.” Also, Lewis’s heart tissue tested positive for adenovirus during his autopsy.
