I am no doctor but google search got me this

A renal mass, or tumor, is an abnormal growth in the kidney. Some renal masses are benign (not cancerous) and some are malignant (cancerous). One in four renal masses are benign. Smaller masses are more likely to be benign.

I hope he is ok

He was going to go off with Pacers, disappointing

[L.Kizzle]

Hope all is well.
But does that void the trade tho?

[Xiao Yao You]

they got an extra 2nd rounder because of the mass

[ArbitraryWater]

does this void the trade?

any stipulations there?


clearly they withheld this information?

[Bond007]

yes it could . that's why they do the medical tests

[Xiao Yao You]

extra 2nd rounder

Shams Charania: Sources: The four-team, James Harden-Victor Oladipo-Caris LeVert-Jarrett Allen trade is complete. An additional second-round pick and cash were sent to Indiana in order to finish the deal after an issue was discovered in LeVert’s physical with Pacers, (https://*********.com/social/) sources say.

[Bond007]

that does not even make sense

[Xiao Yao You]

Pacers still want to do the trade and obviously the Nets do so they will send an extra pick because the Pacers didn't know they were getting damaged goods

[ArbitraryWater]

Pacers accepting that look super cuck

[Bond007]

Pacers still want to do the trade and obviously the Nets do so they will send an extra pick because the Pacers didn't know they were getting damaged goods

pending clearing medical reviews...

They've been reviewed. They found a mass. Pacers get an extra pick for their trouble.

ok if this is legit then great. you should have posted the link to begin with. What i was trying to explain was All trades only clear pending clearing medicals. since Lavert had a certain condition which the pacers felt that may not be serious thay agreed to push through but asked for cash and additional pick. that's all

in most circles nba.com is more official than Shams

Bad news

[Kiddlovesnets]

Poor Levert, hopefully he will be okay. In a way this trade saved his life.

will it be voided?

[Bond007]

will it be voided?

the pacers agreed to the cash right ? so deal pushes through but technically speaking they could have. damn it would have been terribly awkward to get Victor O back:oldlol:

[KennyPowers]

Pacers still prefer LeVert's 3 years over Oladipo's expiring.


If it was cancer you would think they would already know. Gm Pritchard seems confident he won't be out long.

I hope he is ok

If 1 in 4 are benign, then it means 3 in 4 would be scary stuff.... Well, I hope it's not the latter

Pacers still got screwed..

Well, let's hope the tumor is benign. My little brother had a tumor and it was scary waiting for results to come back. Luckily for us, it was benign so he got it surgically removed &been fine since.

How long did it take to get results? I figured they would already know.

Might take a bit longer than usually. They are dealing with the Trump virus at the moment
