Tisdale Dies At 44

Wayman Tisdale, a three-time All-American at Oklahoma, who played 12 
seasons in the NBA, died after a two-year battle with cancer. He was 44.

Tisdale died Friday morning at St. John Medical Center in Tulsa, 
hospital spokeswoman Joy McGill said.

Tisdale learned of a cancerous cyst below his right knee after breaking his leg
 in a fall at his home in Los Angeles on Feb. 8, 2007. His leg was amputated 
last August. He made several public appearances since, including April 7 at an
 Oklahoma City Thunder game.
