@Crimsonorblue22 Thanks for this.
Cardiomyopathy is the condition. Some more background, from a Jan article: https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nba/2024/01/18/scot-pollard-nba-needs-heart-transplant-dad-died/72271166007/

Saw that the other day and was shocked.
-
Prayers Pollard finds that donor.
-
Very sad news for Scott, his donor list is probably small with him being his size. They can’t put the heart of a 5’5 guy in him. It just doesn’t look or sound encouraging at this moment. One of the first KU guys I can remember watching.
-
@kjayhawks My god, you are so young. Enjoy it!
-
@mayjay I’m 36 this year lol
-
@kjayhawks Me, 68 in 1 week. No cane yet, though!
-
@mayjay that’s good lol wish I was older in these times. We’ll have no social security and pensions are joke. I always say I’ll retire the day of my funeral

Needs a donor over 6’1”. Sounds like he has time, but not too much. Hope a heart comes thru, but you know that it will have a tragic backstory as well.

Pollard is getting his heart right now!!!

Was reading a little more on Scot’s position , They said that this heart condition is exactly the same as what his dad had, his father unfortunately passed away waiting on he list for his transplant. Saw a picture of Scot and his Wife Dawn, and Dawn said that Scot wanted everyone to know that his pre heart transplant hair is gone lmao.
His condition he has is called Cardiomyopathy and it causes his heart to beat an extra 10,000 time a day - ( Lord have mercy )-- insane., and half his siblings also have this same Condition. This whole thing they said happened after he received a Non Covid flu shot in 2021, and he had a virus that activated this genetic condition . Scot has been the Vanderbilt hospital since February 6th.
Seeing Scot’s picture boy he has put on a lot of weight, ha didn’t know but I guess from all his different hair do’s when he was at Ku and such they nick named Scot - - -Samurai Scot- -lol.- - -Prayers are with you, and may GOD be with you. Always thought you were awesome, wishing nothing but the best. May of played to a some what different fiddle but your the best lol
Had to edit, forgot to add also Scot did an interview and was mentioned that during this interview that Scot had to hang up 2-3 times during this because he just got so exhausted from talking he had to I guess take breaks. Then on top of that said he couldn’t even go to his son’s game from the exhaustion - - just sad, sounds really bad for our guy

Saw - - SUCCESSFUL transplant, - for Scot yesterday his wife now say , now comes the critical recovery —GOD SPEED buddy -ROCK CHALK
