LeBron James has benign growth removed from jaw
By Tom Withers
Cavaliers star LeBron James had a benign growth removed from his right jaw during a five-hour procedure at the Cleveland Clinic on Tuesday.
James has had the condition for several months, but with permission from his treating doctors, he and his family decided to put off the operation until the Cavs completed their season. Cleveland was eliminated from the NBA playoffs on Saturday by Orlando in the Eastern Conference finals.
During the operation, Dr. Frank Papay removed tissue from the parotid gland, which produces saliva. Surgery for such conditions often takes time because of the numerous nerves and blood vessels in that area of the jaw.
The Cavaliers released a statement saying doctors were “pleased with the outcome of the procedure, and at this time, are confident that no further treatment will be needed as LeBron is expected to make a full and complete recovery.”
James remains hospitalized and the team said he will soon be returning home.
The 24-year-old James was the league MVP this season after leading the Cavs to 66 regular-seasons wins and their second Central Division le. He averaged 38.5 points, 8.3 assists and 8.0 rebounds in Cleveland’s series against the Magic, who won in six games.
James caused a minor controversy after Game 6 for not shaking hands with Orlando’s players and skipping the postgame news conference.

Despite the criticism I may throw at dude, with all the health issues we've seen former players dealing with over the course of the last few months, it's good to hear dude is doing okay....now if they can perform an operation to shrink the ego.
38/8/8 dayum
That's why they lost !
Magic only beat teams with injured players, they suck so badddddd
Ditto. I don't want to be as classLESS as Lebron so I too will let it slide!
Didn't the Lakers beat an injury depleted Rockets team in 7 ?
Philly played better without their multi-million dollar offseason acquisition. If Yao never goes down......
joke
I was satirizing guys like this
lmfaoDidn't the Lakers beat an injury depleted Rockets team in 7 ?
So let me get this straight...
Doctors took five hours to surgically make Lebrons head smaller.
Ziing
So it wasn't his baseball-sized Adam's apple?
Anabolic steroids.
sterns .....
This raises questions about LBJ's relationship with Delonte West
