Former NBA champion and "Survivor" contestant Scot Pollard underwent a successful heart transplant, his wife Dawn Pollard announced on social media. Dawn expressed gratitude for the support and praised the donor for their gift of life. Pollard, aged 49, needed the transplant due to heart damage from a virus and a genetic condition.
Pollard, known for his 11-year NBA career and winning the championship with the Celtics, faced challenges due to his size in finding a suitable donor. Despite retiring, he remained active in broadcasting and acting. His public disclosure of his condition last month led to his admission to intensive care and eventual transplant.
Pollard's transplant was a significant moment in his health journey, and the support from his wife, fans, and medical team was crucial. His successful surgery and recovery highlight the importance of organ donation and the impact it can have on individuals' lives.
