"Former NBA Player Scot Pollard Awaits Life-Saving Heart Transplant"

Former NBA player Scot Pollard, who needs a heart transplant due to a genetic condition exacerbated by a virus, is waiting in a hospital for a donor big enough to match his 6-foot-11, 260-pound frame. His condition, which has been affecting his quality of life, requires a heart that can supply blood to his extra-large body. Pollard, 48, is navigating the complex organ transplant system and hopes for a donor to surface soon, acknowledging the bittersweet nature of the situation.
