It was precancerous. The surgery process is still for cancer, but the cells had not "turned" yet, thankfully.

Go Caris!

The Pacers should just throw in the towel on this season. They have no chance of advancing, Levert will be rusty at best and Warren still has not played their depth is terrible because they a bringing their best bench guys Justin Holiday and Doug in to the starting line up because of the injuries. AND still there is no backup PF and they don't use Goga except in extreme foul trouble or blow outs.
