Celtics C Wolkowyski undergoes appendectomy
BOSTON (Ticker) - Boston Celtics reserve forward Ruben Wolkowyski
underwent an appendectomy Saturday morning and will be sidelined
at least three weeks.
After being diagnosed with acute appendicitis, Wolkowyski had the
surgery at New England Baptist Hospital. The successful procedure
was performed by team physician Dr. Arnold Scheller and Dr. Stephen
Camer.
Wolkowyski will be hospitalized overnight and released Sunday.
He is expected to miss three to four weeks.
The 6-10, 275-pound Wolkowyski was signed as a free agent
during the offseason. A native of Argentina, he has scored five
points in seven games, playing just once since December 14.
