Channing Frye out at Least 1 Week After Emergency Appendectomy
Los Angeles Lakers center Channing Frye underwent an appendectomy Friday night and will be evaluated in a week.
Mike Bresnahan of Spectrum SportsNet reported the news.
Frye missed the entire 2012-13 campaign after he was diagnosed with an enlarged heart, but he's appeared in at least 70 games in every season since.

Report: Pistons, Thunder Make Trade
Traded to the Lakers at the deadline, the stretch 5 has appeared in only one game with the Lakers. He was averaging 4.8 points and 2.5 boards in Cleveland.
The All-Star break will lessen the amount of games Frye misses, but it's unlikely to make much of a difference. The Lakers traded for him because his contract expires at the end of the season. He isn't expected to be much more than a bit player going forward as the Lakers look to give their young core playing time in another lost season.
