T Jass, whose real name is Tristan Jass, recently shared that he is undergoing brain surgery.
What happened
Tristan Jass announced in early December 2025 that doctors had decided it was time to operate on a brain tumor or cyst that was first found in 2019 and monitored with yearly MRIs. He explained that recent scans showed changes in the growth, leading his medical team to recommend surgery to remove it and determine exactly what it is.
His current situation
He has said the operation involves a several‑hour brain surgery in which part of his brain will be removed, with a recovery period expected to last a few weeks, though that could vary. Public updates so far focus on him preparing for surgery, acknowledging that it is scary but stressing that he is mentally ready and grateful for support from fans.
Impact on his career
Because of the seriousness of the procedure, there is no clear public timeline for when he will fully return to creating basketball and trick‑shot content. For now, his priority is health and recovery, and he has framed this as a difficult but necessary step in a long-running health journey.
