Below is a medical report from Dr. Neal ElAttrache, M.D. regarding Pelicans forward Anthony Davis:
“Anthony initially sustained a posterior labral tear of his left shoulder 3 years ago. He reports only mild soreness in his shoulder which occurs very infrequently after games. Anthony has not missed any playing time due to his shoulder. He denies recurrent instability, feels that his shoulder is strong, he has no apprehension and feels that he is able to perform at 100% of his capacity regarding his shoulder.
Posterior labral tears typically do not predictably cause instability in as high a percentage of players as anterior labral tears.
