Former NBA, Kansas C Scot Pollard rings bell at hospital 2 weeks after heart transplant

Former NBA, Kansas C Scot Pollard rings bell at hospital 2 weeks after heart transplant
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Jason Owens

Scot Pollard was in good spirits on Thursday and appeared to leave the hospital nearly two weeks after undergoing a heart transplant.

The former NBA and Kansas center rung the bell at the Vanderbilt Transplant Center in Nashville, Tennessee, 13 days after his surgery. He did so to a round of applause from the hospital staff who lined up to watch the milestone moment. Pollard’s wife Dawn shared video of the moment on social media.

Neither Pollard nor Dawn clarified, but the bell-ringing appeared to signify his release from the hospital. The ringing of a hospital bell has come to mark milestones in treatments such a cancer patients completing their final round of chemotherapy. Pollard was in street clothes and smiling as he rung the bell.

Pollard admitted to ICU on Feb. 7 in need of heart

Thursday’s moment arrived three weeks after Pollard was admitted to Vanderbilt’s intensive care unit with a condition exacerbated by a genetic disorder that caused his heart to beat an extra 10,000 times per day. He told the Associated Press on Feb. 7 that he wasn’t leaving the hospital until he found a donor and underwent a transplant.

Pollard, 48, said that he’d tried medications and procedures including the installation of a pacemaker, but that nothing successfully addressed the condition that he believes was triggered by a virus years ago.

“I’m staying here until I get a heart,” Pollard said. “My heart got weaker. [Doctors] agree this is my best shot at getting a heart quicker.”

Complicating the search was that doctors needed to find a donor heart big and strong enough to pump blood for the 6-11 ex-athlete who played in the NBA at 260 pounds.

Dawn wrote on social media on Feb. 16 that doctors had found a heart that was “big, powerful and is a perfect fit!” She shared images of Pollard getting his head, face and chest shaved ahead of the heart transplant while thanking the donor who “gave the most amazing gift of life.”

Scot wanted me to let everyone know that the pre-heart transplant hair is gone, it’s go time! Please keep the prayers coming for Scot, the surgeons, for the donor and his family who lost their loved one. This donor gave the most amazing gift of life and we are forever grateful❤️‍🩹 pic.twitter.com/OQRGDma5e6

— Dawn Pollard (@DawnMPollard) February 16, 2024

Dawn updated her social media followers after the transplant that the “surgery went well.” She continued to provide update videos of Pollard moving and walking after his procedure.

A Feb. 26 video showed Pollard in good spirits and walking on his own without a walker or being hooked up to IVs and medical devices.

Today was productive & Scot is feeling stronger. Had 2 hours of post heart transplant education where we learned ALL the things about how to best care for his new gift-no rejection allowed! His remaining wires were removed, he’s off all IV meds & did 3 laps without a walker!💪🏼❤️‍🩹 pic.twitter.com/g4ocWsYOV6

— Dawn Pollard (@DawnMPollard) February 27, 2024

Now, three days later, it appears that Pollard has been released from the hospital.

Pollard: ‘I did not realize how sick I was’

Pollard told Sacramento’s CBS 13 after his procedure that the donor’s heart was a perfect fit.

“A big heart came available,” Pollard said. “It wouldn’t fit anybody else. It wouldn’t fit a normal-size person.”

He said that the donor’s family chose to remain anonymous, but that he was reaching out with a message of thanks.

“All I know is it was a big man, and we’re going to reach out through the network,” Pollard continued. … “Keeping the donor’s family in mind, it was good fortune for me that a big man with a healthy heart had passed. I say that knowing full well the tragedy they had to live through in losing their loved one.

“Luckily he was a donor and he saved a lot of people’s lives.”

Pollard told CBS 13 that he felt better when he woke up from the five-hour transplant procedure.

“I did not realize how sick I was,” he continued. “To wake up from a transplant of this magintude and feel better? Whoa. I was sick.”

Pollard played four seasons at Kansas from 1993-97 before joining the NBA as the No. 19 pick in the draft by the Detroit Pistons. KU celebrated Thursday’s news with a highlight reel of his playing days on social media.

Pollard went on to play 11 NBA seasons with the Pistons, Sacramento Kings, Indiana Pacers, Cleveland Cavaliers and Boston Celtics. He won an NBA championship in 2008 in his final NBA season with the Celtics. He competed on CBS reality show “Survivor” following his retirement from basketball.
