Wow..this is upsetting news. I saw Wayman a few years ago at a Jazz  show 
in Maryland. He was great.
 
Waaay too young.
 
Excerpted from the San Jose Mercury News, 5/15/09:
 
 
"Jazz musician and former NBA player Wayman Tisdale has died at 44 after  
fighting cancer the past two years.  
St. John Medical Center in Tulsa says he died this morning.  
The 6-foot-9 forward from Tulsa was a three-time All-American for Oklahoma. 
 He spent 12 seasons in the NBA with the Indiana Pacers, Sacramento Kings 
and  Phoenix Suns.  
He first learned he had a cancerous cyst below his right knee after he 
broke  his leg in a fall at his home in Los Angeles in 2007. His leg was 
amputated last  August, but he had made several public appearances since.  
Tisdale was also an accomplished jazz bass guitarist."
