The New Orleans Pelicans have shut down bigman Anthony Davis for the rest of the season. He will have off-season surgery which will, obviously, prevent him from playing with Team USA in the 2016 Rio Olympics. ESPN elaborates:
Davis will undergo surgery to fix a torn labrum in his left shoulder that he says should keep him on the shelf for four to five months and out of the 2016 Rio Olympics.
But the 23-year-old All-Star said he's been fighting through the injury since his rookie season.
