Former Wisconsin Badger Walt McGrory faces a major health challenge. His coach at South Dakota University says the guard is battling bone cancer.
McGrory walked on in Madison and went on to play 37 games in four seasons.
He transferred last spring to South Dakota.
McGrory had already gone through several hip surgeries last fall, limiting him to just one game played with the Badgers.
He says those three procedures tested his resilience “like never before.”
Now, he faces one more test. McGrory says it will be a long road, but he knows he’s not alone.
