Utah Jazz general manager Justin Zanik has been facing a significant health battle off the court. The Jazz recently released a statement revealing that Zanik has been dealing with polycystic kidney disease for an extended period. In light of his health issue, Zanik has temporarily stepped away from his responsibilities as he undergoes a kidney transplant.
Despite the team’s underwhelming performance this season, Zanik’s health battle takes precedence. Polycystic kidney disease is a condition in which cysts form in the kidneys, causing them to enlarge and lose function over time. It is a serious condition that requires medical intervention, such as a kidney transplant, to alleviate symptoms and improve overall health.
While the statement does not provide specific details about Zanik’s prognosis or the timeline for his return, it is clear that his health is the top priority at this time. The Jazz organization and fans alike are undoubtedly wishing Zanik a successful transplantation and a smooth recovery, with hopes that he will be back in action soon.
