Kobe Bryant Out For Season? | Torn Rotator Cuff

Kobe Bryant injured his shoulder in what MRI showed to be a torn rotator cuff. The injury comes on the back end of a 96-80 loss against the New Orleans Pelicans last night. Kobe has been riddled with injuries over the past two seasons and one of the greatest competitors to grace the NBA may have to think about retirement if his body cannot handle the wear and tear. Kobe has been in the NBA since 1996 and left his mark with five championship rings and the captivating persona that he brings on and off the court have been debated for years.

“Bryant could be out a while. A timetable won’t be determined until he meets with the Lakers’ team doctors on Friday, but just as a point of reference, Spurs guard Patty Mills had surgery to repair a torn rotator cuff in July and didn’t make his return until December 28, missing the first 31 games of the season. And Mills is 26. Bryant is 36. It’s safe to assume he’s done for the season.”
