Martell Webster revealed that he has a partially torn labrum in his right hip on Wednesday, hours before the Washington Wizards’ season opener against the Orlando Magic.
Webster, who missed the entire preseason because of the injury, returned to practice Tuesday and participated without pain until the end, when discomfort surfaced after he took his final shot of the session.
Webster, 28, said he will try to proceed without surgery but if the ailment does not improve, he would undergo a procedure to repair the hip. He said surgery would sideline him 4-6 months.
