Cavaliers Guard Matthew Dellavedova Undergoes Surgery For Acute Appendicitis

It’s been a tough go thus far in the 2020-21 season for Cavaliers guard Matthew Dellavedova, who is now recovering from surgery after a CT scan revealed he had acute appendicitis.

The Cavs announced that Dellavedova was first checked out at the Cleveland Clinic Courts on Saturday after he told the team’s medical and athletic training staff to pain he was experiencing in his lower right abdomen.

From there the Cavs had Dellavedova head to Hillcrest Hospital for a CT scan, which showed that he had an acute appendicitis and surgery was necessary.

The 30-year-old guard has yet to take the court this season is a regular season game due to a severe concussion suffered in the Cavs’ first preseason game in December.
