Miyah Telemaque-Nelson, 6, died Monday, Dec. 8, after a lengthy battle with cancer, and her death made ripples in the pop world and the sports community.

Sending love to her mother and family and John. This is heartbreaking. She was so full of life. #RIPMiyah”NBA standout Wall had also spent a lot of time with the young girl. He’d been writing her name on his shoes all season and spoken to her via FaceTime just two weeks ago, according to CSN Washington.

Dwight Howard Under Criminal Investigation for Child Abuse in Georgia, Admits Beating Son with Belt Buckle
It looked for a moment like NBA star Dwight Howard was going to be off the hook in a child abuse investigation that began in Florida. Howard's ex, Royce Reed, accused him of beating their 6-year-old son Braylon, with a belt buckle, something that was actually substantiated after a full exam by the Department of Children and Families. Dr. Kesler said that abrasions on the child were consistent with being struck repeatedly with a belt buckle, and Howard himself confirmed he had punished his son in that manner. According to Howard, it was how he was punished as a kid and had no idea it was wrong. Even after all this, Florida closed up its investigation, saying there was not enough credible proof. It looked like Howard was cleared — at least until yesterday.According to a new TMZ report, Braylon's injuries actually occurred in Georgia and the Cobb County Police Department had been asking for the file on this case for months, with no cooperation. After TMZ actually posted Florida DCF's findings, it gave Cobb County more leverage and the file ended up in their hands within a few hours. -
