If you're an NBA fan, you may remember Nick representing the Cleveland Cavaliers at the NBA Draft Lottery in 2011 - he was called a good luck charm after the Cavs secured the No. 1 pick.
ESPN reports the surgery will take place at a Metro Detroit hospital this week. Nick has already been through one life-saving brain surgery more than 10 years ago and has been treated by chemotherapy on and off for 15 years.
Dan Gilbert plays a large part in the Children's Tumor Foundation. The foundation and NF Forward presented their "Strength and Honor" award to Redford Township mother and daughter, Teaqua (mom) and Jada (daughter), to recognize their uncommon courage in living with neurofibromatosis.
