Malcom Brogdon confirmed a report from The Athletic, which stated that he has a partial tendon tear in his elbow.
“What was reported was correct,” Brogdon said following Monday night’s season-ending loss to the Miami Heat. “It’s a partial tear of a tendon, I don’t know the name of the tendon but it’s coming out of my elbow. Unfortunately, you use it a lot to shoot. So, when I’m shooting, I’m having a lot of pain.”
Brogdon said he will consider having the tear surgically repaired now that the season is over.
According to The Athletic, the injury occurred during Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals.
