Lakers' Channing Frye gets appendix removed

LOS ANGELES -- Lakers forward Channing Frye has undergone an appendectomy.

The team announced Saturday that its new acquisition had the laparoscopic procedure Friday night in Cleveland. Frye offered up a humorous response on Twitter:

I'm pretty sure that i got my appendix removed I'll be able to dunk at least 3xs a month now! #ItWasWeighingMeDown

The Lakers say Frye will be re-evaluated after he returns to Los Angeles next weekend.

Frye was spending the All-Star break in Ohio with his family. He was with the Cavaliers before being traded to the Lakers on Feb.
