Nancy Lieberman Joins PSA Test Campaign With BIG3, Citing Teammate's Prostate Cancer Death

Summary
Nancy Lieberman has joined the Prostate Cancer Foundation, Ice Cube and the BIG3 to press men to ask doctors for a PSA blood test.
The push centers on the foundation’s “Check the Box” campaign, which urges patients to request the prostate-specific antigen test when blood is already being drawn.
Lieberman tied the message to Micheal Ray Richardson, her former Springfield Fame teammate, who died after a prostate cancer diagnosis that she said he kept largely private.
Survivors including Spencer Haywood, Alonzo Mourning and ESPN’s Jay Harris also shape the campaign’s appeal, while Lieberman urged women to push the men in their lives to get tested.
