Kobe Bryant injures finger, goes to locker room
Kobe Bryant has returned to the Los Angeles Lakers’ lineup after spending part of the second quarter in the locker room with a small break in his finger.
The Lakers said Bryant has an avulsion fracture, in which a tiny fragment of bone tears away near a tendon or ligament.
Bryant hurt the top joint on the index finger on his right hand while reaching for a pass along with Minnesota’s Ryan Gomes late in the first quarter of the Lakers’ game against the Timberwolves.
After getting tape on the finger from trainer Gary Vitti, he returned to the game briefly in the second quarter before going to the locker room for the rest of the half.
Bryant returned after halftime with the finger fully covered in tape, hitting a 3-pointer and two more baskets in the opening minutes.
Bryant is the NBA’s second-leading scorer with 28.8 points per game.

Cue the drama queening. Now we'll hear how he needs life saving surgery but how he decided to postpone the procedure to be a warrior and finish off the season.
lmao fisher
Fisher got Nashed on that play.
Tim, lettin' his mouth overload his ass.
That Kobe Bryant is an absolute soldier. Nothing's gonna keep him out.
"It's a reckoning."
The thing I don't understand is why nobody ever goes at players with injured fingers..just slap down hard all game..it's the easiest thing to get away with, you can just act like you're going for the ball..
you would have seen it all the time in the 80's and 90's or with guys like Bruce Bowen..
tee hee
whats the difference between the soldier reference and warrior one?
A horse's ass.
Remember how MJ played with a fever...ya well Kobe can do it too.
Kobe Bryant is still playing injured to this day and will play injured for the remainder of the season. He has a dislocated finger on his SHOOTING HAND. He injured it half-way through the season.
When asked about it after the game he said "it hurts now but I just have to learn how to play with it and adjust to the pain."

Compared to Tim Duncan, who took two months bed rest before training camp.![]()
