“My doctor said the surgery went really well,” Harris said in a X clip.
"So well, in fact, that the cancer that was in my prostate stayed there. It didn’t spread to any surrounding areas.
"So when he took the prostate out, he took that with it. So it’s all good.
Harris then added that he'll be back to perform his SportsCenter duties on July 12 and will continue to rest before his return.

What are the symptoms every man needs to know?
In most cases, prostate cancer doesn’t have any symptoms until the growth is big enough to put pressure on the urethra – that tube you pee through.
Symptoms include:
- Needing to urinate more often, especially at night
- Needing to rush to the toilet
- Difficulty in starting to pee
- Weak flow
- Straining and taking a long time while peeing
- Feeling that your bladder hasn’t emptied fully
Many men’s prostates get larger as they age because of the non-cancerous conditions, prostate enlargement, and benign prostatic hyperplasia.
In fact, these two conditions are more common than prostate cancer – but that doesn’t mean the symptoms should be ignored.
The signs that cancer has SPREAD include bone, back, or testicular pain, loss of appetite, and unexplained weight loss.
