Longtime NBA center Jason Collins is undergoing treatment for a brain tumor, his family announced today in a statement released by the league.

“Jason and his family welcome your support and prayers and kindly ask for privacy as they dedicate their attention to Jason’s health and well-being,” the statement reads.

Collins made history in 2013 as the first openly gay athlete to play in the NBA, NFL, MLB or NHL. He became an ambassador for the NBA after his career ended.

Met him once he’s a really sweet nice guy and he has dedicated his time after the pros to serving the LGBTQ community particularly those of color.

He definitely gets my thoughts and prayers ❤️
