Lebron James has medical procedure



LeBron might be the 'Chosen One', but that doesn't mean he is free from the ups and downs of health.  James reportedly underwent ta five-hour procedure to have a benign growth removed from his mouth today at the Cleveland Clinic.

According to the report, Dr. Frank Papay removed the growth from James' parotid gland, which produces saliva, in a five-hour procedure.

LeBron 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 procedure.

LeBron is recovering comfortably at the Cleveland Clinic and will soon be returning home.
