KENOSHA, Wis. — For years, fans have known Tristan Jass for his creativity, movement, confidence, and the explosive energy he brings to every basketball court he steps on. But in a post shared publicly on Facebook, the 25-year-old influencer and ball-handling phenom revealed a very different side of his life — one marked by uncertainty, quiet endurance, and now, a major medical milestone.
Jass wrote that after six consecutive years of undergoing annual MRI scans to monitor a brain tumor, his medical team has decided the time has come to remove it.
“I can’t lie — this is pretty scary,” he wrote. “But I’ve been mentally preparing for the past few weeks and I’m ready to go to battle.”
The post wasn’t dramatic, angry, or hopeless — instead, it carried the calm tone of someone who has already moved past the shock and toward acceptance, faith, and determination. Jass included the well-known scripture:
“I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” – Philippians 4:13
He also thanked his followers for their support:
“Thank you for all the prayers and support! It doesn’t go unnoticed.”
Jass has built a massive following across social media platforms — not just for his basketball skill, but for his positivity, personality, and the authenticity he brings to his content. Millions of young fans watch his videos not only for entertainment, but because of the message behind them: work hard, stay creative, and don’t let setbacks define you.
Now, that message carries new weight.
“Time to lock in for surgery,” he wrote. “I’ll see you guys on the other side.”
The words read like a promise — not just that he intends to fight, but that he expects to return, stronger and restored.
Supporters flooded the comment section with encouragement, prayers, and personal stories of similar medical journeys. Many praised his vulnerability and willingness to share something so private.
For now, there’s no timeline publicly shared for recovery or return to filming, but if Jass’s mindset is any indication, this is not an ending — it’s another challenge he plans to overcome.
And as he steps into surgery, one thing is clear: he isn’t doing it alone. Thousands — maybe millions — will be waiting and watching, ready to cheer again when he walks back onto the court.

This is a solid kid and a huge positive impact in the trash era of social media. He’s committed to doing the right things with his influence and integrity. I will be praying for him and his family for a huge undertaking emotionally and physically.
Let’s go TJass 👍
I couldn’t have said it better! He truly is such a good kid!
I will be praying for this young man that the surgery will be successful. His Bible verse he used is my favorite verse too!
wish him the best. most likely caused by the jab
Are you completely stupid, or just a little?
Funny since it’s been monitored for 6 years puts it in 2019 moron. Math is good for you
maybe the poison shot caused growth
I agree, the gene juice is causing lots of tumors and cancers as well. At least it’s really only the libs taking it- survival of the fittest (smartest). Let them get poisoned.
Well said HJ. I believe over 90% of the Democlowns took the bio weapon. For once, tax currency was well spent. And we Pure Bloods have Trumpster to thank for Operation WarpDeath. I love Trump and Big J Owned Pharma.
Wishing Tristan a successful surgery, praying for a full recovery.
Hang in there, our prayers are with you.
You’ve got this Tristan, stay strong young man!! Sending prayers for a successful surgery and fast recovery!!
Been there myself, Tristan. You will get through this and come back better, wiser and more compassionate a human being and man. Stay strong and keep your heart open, brother. Sending love and strength your way.
Praying for successful surgery and complete healing
Is that why Donald Trump just got his annual gene juice shot, a month or so ago?
