Never before has the Clemson Family stepped up as it did on Monday. Former Tiger greats in football and basketball, and from as far away as California, came together at the Walker Course in Clemson to help out a former student-athlete in his greatest time of need.
Sharone Wright, who played basketball at Clemson from 1991-’94, lost his left leg eight months ago from an infection due to pressure buildup from internal bleeding or swelling of tissues. The loss of his leg, as well as all of the medical bills he piled up while fighting off prostate cancer in 2016, have caused the former NBA star to fall into some financial hardships.
