James has successful surgery Tuesday.

The Cleveland Cavaliers announced earlier today NBA MVP LeBron James has surgery to remove a right benign growth near his right jaw.

What?

It’s been an issue for months, but James got clearance from doctors to wait after Cleveland’s season ended before getting the procedure done.

The Orlando Magic eliminated the Cavaliers from the playoffs in the Eastern Conference finals last week. James averaged 38.5 points in the conference finals.
