Doc Rivers Undergoes Throat Surgery
Boston Celtics Head Coach Undergoes Surgery
Boston Celtics head coach Doc Rivers underwent throat surgery on Tuesday for a non-cancerous growth in his throat.
Doc's son Austin, who is widely considered to be the best high school basketball prospect, tweeted a message about his dad after he got out of surgery.
"Please everybody pray for my dad he just got done with his surgery today on his throat! Hope he recovers okay!!" tweeted Austin.
According to the Boston Herald, Rivers will not be able to speak for two weeks after the surgery.
"My wife will be the happiest person in the room about that," said Rivers, jokingly.
Rivers has been undergoing annual examinations of his throat and vocal chords for the past three years at the urging of former Celtics coach Jim O'Brien.
"Jim O'Brien suggested it two or three years ago and said every coach should do it," explained Rivers. "I think most coaches should because we yell and use our throat a lot. It makes you more susceptible."
