Lakers’ Bryant to miss rest of the season
Print Edition
HOBBLED five-time National Basketball Association champion Kobe Bryant has been shut down for the season, the Los Angeles Lakers said on Wednesday in a crowning blow to an abysmal year for the storied franchise.
Bryant, 35, has not played since December 17 when he fractured his knee during a game against Memphis after having missed the first 19 games of the 2013-14 season recovering from a torn Achilles from last April.
“Obviously this has been a frustrating and disappointing season, but I appreciate all the support I’ve received,” Bryant said in a statement.
The 16-time All-Star, who has played six games this season, was examined on Wednesday by the team’s physician, who determined that the injury has still not healed.
The Lakers are 22-42 after posting a 45-37 record last season.
On the court on Wednesday, it was: Nuggets 120, Magic 112; Kings 115, 76ers 98; Bobcats 98, Wizards 85; Nets 96, Heat 95; Raptors 101, Pistons 87; Knicks 116, Celtics 92; Grizzlies 90, Pelicans 88; Mavericks 108, Jazz 101; Spurs 103, Trail Blazers 90; Cavaliers 110, Suns 101; and Clippers 111, Warriors 98.
