Former NBA player Vlade Divac had a scare over the past weekend when he was forced to go into an emergency stomach surgery.
Details have been scarce about the incident, but according to Ailene Voisin of The Sacramento Bee, the Serbian center reportedly had his spleen removed and looks to be in the process of recovering.
