Robertson's father, Jordy, tweeted it went well but cautioned the next few days after surgery were also important.
Jarrius Robertson @JarriusSurgery went GREAT! JJ is resting now with NEW, working liver 🙏🏻 We will see him in a few hours. Next few days of monitoring are big - Jordy
Robertson made headlines earlier this year when he scored a basket in the fourth quarter of the NBA All-Star Celebrity Game in New Orleans.
He did more than just score during NBA All-Star Weekend, telling Russell Westbrook his Oklahoma City Thunder needed more shooters and getting in a fight with Charles Barkley:
Royce Young @royceyoungGreat moment from today's availability between Westbrook and @Jarrius. Sign the kid, Presti!
New Orleans Pelicans @PelicansNBAWe sent @Jarrius to interview the @NBAonTNT crew...and things escalated quickly!! #NBAAllStar Full video to come
Triplett called Robertson a "larger-than-life figure" with the Saints. He even signed a contract with New Orleans on Good Morning America:
Good Morning America @GMAWATCH: "You don't have to tell me twice!" @Saints superfan @Jarrius gets signed LIVE in Times Square!
His importance to those within the organization was never clearer than when head coach Sean Payton and quarterback Drew Brees tweeted him well wishes:
Sean Payton @SeanPaytonPrayers go out to @Jarrius tonight. #courage
Drew Brees @drewbreesPray for @Jarrius today as he receives his liver transplant in New Orleans. Can't wait to see you running around the #Saints facility, JJ!
According to Triplett, Robertson suffers from biliary atresia, which is a liver disease that impacts his physical growth. He received a liver transplant at one year old and was in a coma for nearly a year earlier in his life.
