Two weeks after receiving a heart transplant, former NBA center Scot Pollard is going home.
Pollard was admitted to the intensive care unit at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville on Feb. 7 and was to remain hospitalized while waiting for a transplant. At 6'11", his size made it difficult to find a donor heart suitable for transplant, but one eventually became available and Pollard had the surgery on Feb. 16, four days after his 49th birthday.
Pollard spent 13 days in the hospital recovering from the surgery but was released on Thursday. His wife, Dawn, posted a video on social media showing Pollard dancing down the hallway and ringing the bell to celebrate his release.
