LeBron James underwent a successful surgery on Tuesday to remove a right benign parotid growth (near the right jaw).
James and his family have been aware of this medical issue for several months, but with the clearance of the treating doctors and medical staff, decided to wait until the conclusion of the Cavaliers season to undergo the removal procedure.
LeBron is recovering comfortably at the Cleveland Clinic and will soon be returning home to his family.
The doctors are 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.
