The procedure, which took place at the Cleveland Clinic, was performed by Cavaliers head team physician Dr. Richard Parker and Cleveland Indians head team physician Dr. Mark Schickendantz.
Varejao, who averaged 4.9 points and 4.8 rebounds in 54 games as a rookie last season, will begin rehab shortly on the shoulder. The 6-10 native of Brazil is expected to miss training camp and the beginning of the 2005-06 regular season.
"We feel bad for Anderson," said Cleveland GM Danny Ferry. "He worked very hard this summer. We know it is a difficult time for him, but we also know he’ll work even harder to rehab and come back strong. His return will give us something special to look forward to."
