An Oklahoma Cityan will be leaving this month to join one of the big basketball leagues in Europe.

Jason Walley, 25, who had a knee replaced after he was diagnosed with osteosarcoma and wears a left leg prosthesis, will play for the Casa Murcia Gestafe wheelchair basketball team of Spain.

He will leave for Madrid in a few days.

Walley was attending college and had gained the notice at the district and state levels while attending high school as a star basketball player.

He was considered a likely candidate to eventually turn professional with the National Basketball Association before he was diagnosed.

Walley has gone through the Oklahoma State University Gateway Program.

In his first year in the program, Walley won gold in the Endeavor Games.
