Bone cancer prompted a partial removal of Wayman Tisdale’s right leg. The former NBA player went under the knife Monday. However, after surgery everything was reported to have gone well.
In February of last year, Tisdale had a fall, breaking his leg. It was at this time a cancerous cyst was found below his right knee.
He was born in Tulsa, Okalahoma in 1964 and went on to the University of Okalahoma to play basket ball. Today he is married with four children. After spending 12 seasons in the NBA, Wayman Tisdale is now an award-winning jazz musician. His debut CD is called Power Forward. He played for the Indiana Pacers from 1985 to 1989 and the Sacramento Kings from 1989 to 1990. He averaged 22 points per game.
Wayman Tisdale’s progress will be watched carefully by basketball fans everywhere. He is a remarkable man that can create two huge careers for himself.
