Wayman Tisdale has died after battling cancer of the knee for two years.
Tisdale played in the NBA for the Pacers, Kings and Suns and was on the U.S. Olympic team that won a gold medal.
Tisdale left basketball to pursue his love of music. He played smooth jazz on bass guitar.
Wayman Tisdale is survived by his wife and their four children. He was 44-years-old.
As a lifelong Suns fan, not to mention a lover of jazz, I have very fond memories of Mr. Tisdale over the years. Very sad.
Our thoughts to his family, friends and fans in his passing.
