Kobe Bryant Shoulder Injury Update: Out for Remainder of Season

The Fumble - After injuring his shoulder during the Lakers' 96-80 loss in New Orleans, Kobe Bryant was forced to play much of the game with just his left hand. He could have left the game, but he opted to stay and play. Bryant's decision to stay in the game might have made things worse. An MRI revealed Thursday that Kobe tore his rotator cuff and will have to travel back to Los Angeles for further examination. According to ESPN, Kobe is expected to miss the remainder of the season.
