Oh WOW. Just WOW. And this is almost the exact anniversary of last year's injury. Creepy.

Well at least it is not his knee he had surgery on.

They announced it as a knee sprain, and he'll have an MRI tomorrow

Wow, i wonder how kobe feels! He looks mad at himself. but looks like he is out for the season but i think he will be out for 6 weeks top and come back stronger like he did before. But lets pray for him no matter if you like him or not. Good Luck Bynum

[gladdyontherise]

It would seem he's done, from his reaction i highly doubt it was a "knee sprain"

sucks to, i thought the Lakers had a real chance with him starting to win it all, without him, i dont think they will...
