Shooting arm? How would that affect you going forward? I would assume that could really mess your shot up. Yep, shooting arm. Not sure about recovery. I don't think labrum injuries are real common in basketball? Labrum tear won't affect the shot. That surgery only really affects external rotation, which is the biggest factor in how hard you can throw. If he rehabs it right, he'll be completely fine. Mine was torn about 90% and the only thing I couldn't do (without extreme pain anyway) was throw a baseball pass with the basketball. If he wasn't a senior, he could probably play with it if need be. If getting ready for next year is important to him, he needs to sit. It's a much shorter rehab now because they can scope it instead of having to open the shoulder up to fix it too. He could maybe still play and be ready for next year with surgery in March. That's good to know, thanks for the info.
