I want to give the Pelicans the benefit of the doubt and hope that Davis is maybe exaggerating his injury. Maybe his shoulder just got progressively worse over the years as opposed to it being torn for three years.
Anthony Davis says he's played through a torn labrum for three years

By putting this comment out there, Davis unintentionally has put his team’s medical staff under scrutiny, because no one should be playing three years with a broken shoulder.
I am sure the Pelicans will be coming out with a statement very shortly.
