Erroneous reports surfaced Friday night that Lederer, who joined the basketball program in 2011 as a freshman, had succumbed to cancer. In a tweet Saturday morning, Julia Lederer, his sister, posted a picture updating Lederer's status: "He is breathing very well, his vital signs are that of an athlete and he continues to exude love and affection to his family and friends. He is giving us another gift and teaching us about strength and endurance all the while supporting others. We hope to take Zach home in the next day or so and utilize home hospice."
