Indiana Pacers guard Caris LeVert underwent successful surgery Monday to treat renal cell carcinoma of his left kidney and is expected to make a full recovery, the team announced Tuesday.
The surgery was performed by Dr. Jason Sprunger at Community North Hospital in Indianapolis, and the team said no further treatment is needed.
LeVert, who was acquired in the four-team trade that sent James Harden to the Nets and Victor Oladipo to the Rockets, remains out indefinitely. The small mass on his kidney was discovered during a team physical and medical tests as a result of that trade.
