Lavin Considering Proactive Steps To Treat Cancer

Sep 26, 2011 11:48 AM

Steve Lavin is weighing whether to have surgery or try radiation treatments for his prostate cancer, and he expects to make a decision and commence treatment within the first 10 days of October.

"After the most recent consultation, my doctors feel at this point that the active surveillance approach is off the table," Lavin said Saturday. "So that narrows the treatment options to surgery or radiation. The advantage of early detection is that we have these options that can assist in leading to a cancer-free life."

Sep 20, 2011 10:48 AM

Kyle Anderson, the No. 5 overall prospect in the class of 2012, committed to UCLA on Monday.

Anderson chose UCLA over Seton Hall, Georgetown, Florida and St. John's.

Anderson is a 6-foot-7 small forward who is largely known for his passing ability.

Anderson is thought to be close to Shabazz Muhammad, the nation's top prospect. "Bazz has to make his own decision based on what's best for him," Anderson said. "I do hope he comes, though."
