Justin Zanik is set to undergo a kidney transplant on April 2nd due to his condition, Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD), which is also present in all three of his children.
His recuperation is expected to last through April, with plans to resume his duties as the Utah Jazz’s front office head well in advance of the draft and free agency. Zanik’s donor will be the husband of his wife’s childhood best friend.

“I knew I had to get over it.”
