 Former NBA player Jason Collins diagnosed with brain cancer

Jason Collins, the NBA’s first openly gay player and current league ambassador, is undergoing treatment for Stage 4 glioblastoma, a severe form of brain cancer. Collins revealed the update in a Thursday interview, explaining that his family had previously shared a vague statement in September about his brain tumor to protect his privacy while he was processing the diagnosis.

Collins described that doctors discovered a baseball-sized mass in his brain in late August and warned that without treatment, his life expectancy would have been six weeks to three months. Even following standard U.S. care, he would face an estimated 13 months to live. Seeking alternative options, Collins and his husband traveled to Singapore for experimental chemotherapy not available in the U.S., where they plan to stay for at least six weeks as he pursues treatment. Collins made history in 2013 as the first openly gay athlete in any of the four major North American sports leagues and retired in 2014 after a 13-year career spanning multiple teams, including the New Jersey Nets, Memphis, Minnesota, Atlanta, Boston, and Washington. Over his career, he averaged 3.6 points and 3.7 rebounds per game, with his best season coming in 2004-05 when he averaged 6.4 points and 6.1 rebounds with the Nets.
