Watch: Former Badger MBB player reflects on cancer journey
Walt McGrory, a former walk-on guard for Wisconsin’s men’s basketball team from 2017-2021, has been battling cancer and recently had his leg amputated.
After leaving the Badgers following the 2020-2021 campaign, it was discovered that he had developed bone cancer in his left leg (osteosarcoma) and he has been battling for two years.
Ultimately, he was forced to have his leg amputated in early 2023, but he’s remained upbeat in his recovery and has spread a message of strength throughout the entire process.
He has put his head down and done everything he needs to do to move forward, appreciating all the support he’s gotten from Badgers and Wisconsin fans.
