Former Indiana Pacers forward Alex Poythress’ sister to donate kidney to mother

For Alex Poythress, his time with the Indiana Pacers was defined by overcoming adversity and getting a roster spot in the middle of the season thanks to his hard work. However, that is nothing compared to what his mother has been going through.

His mom, Regina Poythress, has been dealing with kidney failure since before Poythress made it to the NBA. According to KentuckySportsRadio.com, there have not been many reasons for optimism in finding an answer to the kidney failure.

Until recently.

Poythress’ twin sister, Alexis Poythress, has recently been deemed a donor match for the failing kidney.
