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.
“The impingement is rubbing up against the leg. It tore a little bit,” Webster explained. The swingman said he probably could’ve logged “5-10 minutes” in Wednesday’s game despite not having played in the preseason, but the setback has clouded his immediate future.
