Dr. Stephen Hunt Discusses Nets Player’s Injury in New York Post

The NBA's Brooklyn Nets point guard Kyrie Irving has been diagnosed with impingement in his right shoulder. Fellowship-trained sports medicine specialist Dr. Stephen Hunt of Tri-County Orthopedics weighs in on Irving’s injury and outlook for the New York Post. 

Dr. Hunt, who serves as a consultant for the NFL’s New York Jets, understands the outlook for Irving as well as the demands for high-level athletes.
