Corey Webster will try to play through a serious hip injury in the Australian Basketball League season.

The injury limited the the Tall Blacks guard during the Breakers' pre-season campaign and he's still not 100 per cent.

Webster is keen to play down its severity.

He says he's working through it, but doesn't want to make a big deal out of it.

Webster says he's going to need hip surgery at some stage, but he doesn't want to do it now.
