London Perrantes undergoes appendectomy, out vs. Ohio State

Virginia basketball's London Perrantes underwent an appendectomy on November 29th and will miss the team's game against the Ohio State Buckeyes. Timetable for his return has not yet been announced.

Wahoo fans are all too familiar with appendix removal and its effect on basketball players. Justin Anderson had his taken out before the season finale last year against Louisville, just as he was set to return from a wrist injury.

Anderson's appendectomy took place on March 5th, and he returned for limited action against Florida State on March 12th, just 7 days later. That's on the fast side - here are a few other examples: The Kansas City Chiefs' Matt Cassel played 11 days after his surgery.
