Sirius XM NBA: “I wanted (@klow7) to go to Philly, I’ve told him to go back home.” -@Randy Foye on what he’s told his former @NovaMBB teammate
For so long he clung to the hope that his mother would still be alive but also dreaded if that were true — where had she been and why did she leave? But this is far from a sad day for Foye. He has his mother again. This will be his best Mother’s Day yet. “This is definitely a happy ending,” Foye says in an emotional interview with ESPN. “Yeah, you didn’t get the Disney and the ‘I just won a Super Bowl’ ending. But all that time of just debating and questioning yourself and questioning your mom’s morals, thinking that she left and didn’t come back … now you know that she was there all along but she ran into a little problem that cost her her life.
“He couldn’t go into details,” Foye said. “[But it was an] overdose. She was found in an apartment building where they pick up and buy drugs. It was known for distribution of drugs. January of 1990.” Regina Foye’s body had been buried in Kings County in Brooklyn. For the first time in Foye’s life, things began to make sense. His mother didn’t abandon him and his brother for another family. She died and was resting in the same borough where Foye was now playing for his seventh NBA team.
Foye is 33, and the Nets are his seventh NBA team. When his phone rang from a government number in September, he assumed it was bad news about his recent physical exam in advance of the new season, his 11th in the NBA. “The guy who did my stress test said, ‘If you get a call from someone from New York state, it means you failed your stress test,’’ says Foye. “So I thought that was what happened.’’ The voice in his phone was asking him: “Are you sitting down?’’ He had been preparing his entire life for this conversation, and still he was taken by surprise. It came out of the blue, this call from Brooklyn. The authorities believed they had located Regina Foye. They had found his mother.
