On March 30, 2023, Tyon Grant-Foster was home on his computer waiting for a Zoom meeting to start with his doctor from the Mayo Clinic. He had spent 16 months away from the basketball court after he collapsed twice and underwent two heart surgeries. Grant-Foster was waiting to hear definitively if he could make a return to basketball. The doctor started the meeting by saying, "I've got some good news," and went on to clear Grant-Foster to return to the sport he loved.
"It was an ecstatic moment, the best moment of my life," Grand Canyon senior guard Grant-Foster told Paul Coro from GCULopes.
