Kobe out

Los Angeles Lakers star guard Kobe Bryant is expected to miss six weeks with a fracture of the lateral tibial plateau in his left knee, the team announced Thursday.
Bryant suffered the injury Tuesday in the Lakers' victory at the Memphis Grizzlies. An MRI exam Thursday revealed that Bryant actually played for a half against the Grizzlies with it.

 

Yup. It's on the NBA thread, boss.

 

Deserves its own thread.

 

It's a 6 week injury

 

After months of speculation about when he'd return from his prior injury.

It deserves its own thread.

 

It won't be worth its own thread until you report back on what he told you at dinner.

 

He's old in basketball mileage (17th season). He's breaking down. Film at 11.

 

Looked bad when he went down, like ACL type thing. But then he played on it for another quarter. Even after I thought it might be something so worst fear confirmed. Lots of Lakers fans will be happy. On messageboards they were quite upset when he came back and ruined the team that had gone an amazing 10-9 without him. Look at the way Wes Johnson, Xavier Henry and all the other scrubs are playing without Kobe! He ruined that! Now they get their wish.

 

Tank for Wiggins.

 

So important, you had to say it twice.

 

Too late for that. Three-quarters of the Eastern Conference has a leg up in that regard.
