The latest New Orleans Pelicans player to succumb to season-ending surgery is Anthony Davis. However, what set the world ablaze yesterday was the fact that he's been playing with a bum shoulder for years now. Three to be exact. Pretty much every NBA personality jumped to the same conclusion: the Pelicans and their medical staff must be an inept bunch.
I'm here to tell you that their latest perceived mishap just might not be the epically poor decision everyone has made it out to be. The simple reason is that not all shoulder labral tears are best served from undergoing immediate surgery.
