Former NBA star Nate Robinson received a kidney transplant nearly 20 years after he was diagnosed with kidney disease. Robinson announced that was scheduled to have the procedure later that day in a Feb. 7 Instagram post.

After years of waiting, longtime NBA guard Nate Robinson has a new kidney. The three-time Slam Dunk Contest champion had been dealing with kidney failure for years, and publicly announced he was undergoing treatment for renal kidney failure in 2022.

After fellow NBA alumni Jamal Crawford, Wilson Chandler, Dwyane Wade, Rip Hamilton and Chris Webber all commented well wishes to the former dunk contest champ, Robinson shared a selfie to his Instagram Stories featuring his mother — who he called the "one & only" — together in the hospital.
