thats gonna take him the full season.

No it wouldn't. Assuming it were prostate cancer, the recovery period after surgery would only take a couple of weeks.

Prostate cancer at that age is unlikely and probably very serious

I was actually comparing pictures to prove he wasn't on streoids. As said, on that first picture he's like 17 or 18 years old. It's only natural to develop upper body strength. The difference in thos two pictures aren't that great at all.

Wow. Hope for the best now. Sounds like he's gonna be much more relieved on the court now after recovery.

A really devastating blow to an otherwise fine season you guys have been enjoying.

Let's pray for the tissue exams come back benign. If that's the case, he should be back in a few weeks.

:pray:
