Ed Lucas: From Loss to Light, On and Off...

Aboudi Al-Qattan
About this episode

In this uniquely raw and dynamic episode of Beyond The Buzzer, we sit down with Ed—on and off the basketball court—for a conversation that moves in every sense of the word.

Ed opens up about his early days in the game, his battles with mental health, and the quiet but powerful journey back to happiness after loss. 

We dive into what it means to be a father, a husband, and a man who’s still learning—still showing up.
This conversation isn’t just about sport. It’s about:
🧠 Mental health, healing, and asking for help
🏀 The role of movement—both physical and emotional—in processing pain
🏡 Balancing ambition with being present at home
❤️ The grounding force of family, love, and the small wins that matter most. 

Whether you’re an athlete, a parent, or someone figuring it all out in real time, Ed’s story is a reminder that healing isn’t linear—and that there’s beauty in every step forward.
