Ouch.

Injury Update: Kobe Bryant has a fracture of the lateral tibial plateau in his left knee. He is expected to miss 6 weeks.

Ouch.

I wonder if this makes the Lakers more inclined to be active in the trade market.

I feel so bad for Kobe, say what you want about the guy he worked really hard to come back and play. Nobody who works that hard deserves this.

[Mr. Jabbar]

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Kobe out for 6 weeks.

Shit. There goes the Christmas game.

Sad seeing Kobe go out like this.

[HomieWeMajor]

Very unfortunate news.
Hope he recovers soon.

[b0bab0i]

Delete thread.

[TheMarkMadsen]

Jodie Meeks our starting point guard.

That Bulls Lakers game on ESPN tomorrow is looking like a star studded event

[Replay32]

:wtf:

:coleman:

[kuniva_dAMiGhTy]

He worked really hard to come back early, too. Unfortunate.

[scm5]

Probably just doesn't want to take another loss to the King on Christmas.

Yeah, might as well miss 6 weeks to get out of playing one game... that's both totally something Kobe would do.

[CelticBaller]

Poor kirby

[Goldrush25]

Awesome plan Lakers. Let's rush Kobe back and load him up on minutes so he can injure himself again. And great job on that contract.:facepalm

What a disaster.

[Levity]

Lakers have to move gasol and get anything back. It's tank time :(

And since farmar is still at least a week away, i fear we are going to read this headline in the next few days, "Lakers sign PG Chris Duhon" further confirming said tank

[K Xerxes]

Not sure whether the minutes could have caused this, but he has played too much since coming back. I know this is the black mamba, but MDA should have had the balls to say no to Kobe - play limited minutes and work your way back slowly.

Real blow. Hope this isn't the beginning of an injury trend for him. The last thing we all want to see is Kobe struggling in his last few years - needs to go out on a high like his sparkling resume deserves.

[gts]

That's too bad. Not the worst injury, if they do a procedure to fix it it's minimally invasive that's if they do anything at all... certainly not a game changer in the long run...

Also reported Nash will be out another 4 weeks

[DuMa]

sad day for fans

Dr on the radio said minutes had nothing to do with it.. Caused by hyper extension, most common injury with that type of action on the knee joint

[9erempiree]

What is this injury. So it's just a fracture and will heal on it's own? No surgery?

Doesn't seem like it will affect his playing because it's just a fracture. Not joint or ligament related.

What a sorry season. The good news is that he can rest up till this injury heals itself.

[Is He Ill]

Lakers might get a decent draft pick this season. They may as well attempt to trade Pau to anyone that's willing to make an offer and tank for the rest of the season.

[Rolando]

NBA is more interesting with Kobe.

[Mr Exlax]

Lakers need to go get Gilbert Arenas for real.

[TheMarkMadsen]

Wiggins gon look good in that purple and gold

Lets trade Pau, make Nash retire. Scrap the whole team outside of Kobe & Hill & Farmar. Get a top 10 pick. Make some good signings and see what happens.

[gts]

[pauk]

well god damn

[b1imtf]

Wtf

[outbreak]

I know it's an unrelated injury, but honestly why did the lakers rush into giving him a new contract? I keep bringing this up and no one answers besides troll answers. I'm not talking about the value of his contract or the revenue, but there was no rush so why didn't they let him come back and play until the all star break and then sign a deal with confidence knowing he was going to be elite again?

[bluechox2]

kobe smiling with that contract

[TheMarkMadsen]

Fire everyone except:

Farmar

We just need to get rid of MDA & have cap space.

Sign P Jax & bring in players that fit in the triangle. Which there will be some good candidates for that system in this upcoming off season

[gts]

no surgery required is being reported, minor crack the time off is all that's needed for it to heal

[salwan]

:rant feckin hell, I hate this season already

[oh the horror]

I don't care what the doc said.

Kobe was being asked to do too much too soon.

Laker fans need to suck it up. They need to make trades and just accept the fact that they need to think about their future now.

[Soundwave]

Lakers were playing OK before Kobe came back, he should've just rested himself for another couple of weeks and worked his butt off on the elliptical to lose a few pounds.

Can't be carrying that extra weight on your legs as you get older.

Because truth is, there is no real answer. They shouldn't have given that contract.

I like your thinking but we will have to bring in new guys and teach them this offense.

If that's the case we would have to fire a lot of people.

[NASH = BEST]

Kobe should be fine, this is not considered a career ending type injury.

Though, I think its best for Kobe to just shut it down for the rest of the season, and TIME FOR THE LAKERS TO TANK!!

The injury itself is not a big deal though, but any hope that the Lakers had at making the playoffs are now out the window.

No doubt LAL needs to rebuild and think about their future.

They were simply overachieving. No point in being a borderline playoff team, they should just tank and start obtaining young talent.

"Just tank" is kinda hard when there's like 5 or 6 other teams that simply suck worse than you do.

The Raptors are trying to tank and right now wouldn't even sniff the no.1 pick.

Tank Time! Laker nation should do whats best for future.

Best case - Clean house and play hard every night but hopefully lose try to get in that top 8 draft range and/or try to rape someone in a trade i.e. Pau Gasol from Memphis. Don't think any high names (Melo, etc.) are coming to LA during free agency this year

Worst case - MDA is still coach at end of the year and for next year and the Lakers make the playoffs as a 7th/8th seed meaning getting there @ss kicked and more trolling threads against the Lakers and its franchise on how it sucks and future is horrible

[DuMa]

come back in march and dominate turnovers then

How is that trolling?

Biggest game of the week and an hour before tip off the best player from the 2 teams reportedly might not play because of an injury that hasn't really been in the news the past 2 days..

Of course there was a thread made about it.

That'd be like calling the OP of this thread a troll for reporting an injury.

Was I bashing Lebron for not playing? Was i laughing at him for getting a serious injury like the Lebron Stan's are in here doing for Kobe?

Nope.

There's a difference between possibly not playing because of a sprained ankle that nobody even remembered happening and an actually injury that will cause a player to miss extended time.

Now after having that explained to you with the simplicity one would give a child, I hope you're able to understand

[SamuraiSWISH]

He worked really hard to come back early, too. Unfortunate.Agreed. Sad to see this happen, similar situation to D-Rose. Kobe's window is quickly closing. His body might just be breaking down at this point. Happens to us all eventually. Anyway, he's a legend. Rather see him go out now than as a meager shell of what I remember him as in his prime.

[TheMarkMadsen]

No it doesn't. If anything it protects the contract.

He's playing on the last year of his old contract this year.

Congratulations Lakers!!!!

Way to ease Kobe back!!!

Instead of letting his body heal and keeping him out until after the All-Star break, and then playing him at a low number of minutes (say 15 mpg) and then working his way up, the Lakers decide to run Kobe back too early and then running him too many minutes.

Way to protect your 48 million dollar investment!!!!

The Lakers get the award of stupid organization of the year!!!

:wtf:

[NASH = BEST]

Makes the contract signing look stupid though. You're right tho

I don't necessarily think that it makes the contract signing look stupid either. Unless of coarse, the Lakers were banking on Kobe being Kobe again, which i doubt.

In my opinion, the contract sighning had more to do with the Lakers wanting to send a message out to the league, and to potential free agents of the future, that they will always take care of their players.

Whether true or not, I think they had longer term implications in mind (long after Kobe's 2 years), when they offered Kobe his contract.

[Black and White]

im sure as hell no lebron hater on this board would celebrate a lebron injury, perhaps its the nature of an underaged lebron fanbase, some jumped on his bandwagon before learning to wipe their asses

This right here, I'm not a LeBron fan, but I would never want to see him get injured, let alone celebrate it, that stuff just isn't in the spirit of the game.

[hawkfan]

I know it's an unrelated injury, but honestly why did the lakers rush into giving him a new contract? I keep bringing this up and no one answers besides troll answers. I'm not talking about the value of his contract or the revenue, but there was no rush so why didn't they let him come back and play until the all star break and then sign a deal with confidence knowing he was going to be elite again?

Giving out that contract wasn't bad.

But what they should have done is tell him - we gave you this contract, don't rush back because you are going to be a free agent; you're covered for the end of your career; take your time and get fully healthy; ease your way back into game shape in time for the playoffs.

They should have told him - no point in rushing back too soon and suffering another injury when you're not fully healthy.

:hammerhead:

[KyleKong]

At least Kobe signed that contract first :oldlol:

[red1]

They played him too many minutes man, you cant say for sure that it was the minutes that led to the achilles and now the rushed return that led to this but it sure is starting to look like a trend. They need to limit him to 25 mins per game and no back to backs for a while when he comes back next year

What is your criteria? It seems to be very easy for you to ignore someone considering you flaunt it a lot.

If the Lakers end the season with one of the worst records in the league and somehow get a high draft pick, half of this forum would be fvcking furious and scream about how rigged the league is.


Their record will be better TBH

You were on there for a while, if that helps clarify. You aren't now for certain reasons.

Keep up the good work.

[Scholar]

Well, it was a fun comeback while it lasted. Hopefully Kobe doesn't return too soon.
I'm afraid the new injury prone Kobe is who we will be stuck with for the next 3 seasons. :(

No, but you toe the line with your Kobe/Laker trolling.

I know you're trolling, but your other content makes up for it.

Tread carefully.

[hawkfan]

If the Lakers are out of the playoff run by then, they should consider shutting Kobe down for the rest of the season so he gets totally healed up for next year.

[ZenMaster]

I don't necessarily think that it makes the contract signing look stupid either. Unless of coarse, the Lakers were banking on Kobe being Kobe again, which i doubt.

In my opinion, the contract sighning had more to do with the Lakers wanting to send a message out to the league, and to potential free agents of the future, that they will always take care of their players.

Whether true or not, I think they had longer term implications in mind (long after Kobe's 2 years), when they offered Kobe his contract.

Kobe's contract is an appreciation contract. He's been the most or one the most popular players in the world for almost 20 years, he's brought in the Lakers a crazy amount of revenue. Him having stuck with the Lakers for so long is the only reason he could get these 30 mill and 24 mill contracts. Laker owners are paying a fair amount compared to what he has brought in, it's not their fault there's this cap on how much they can spend on players and that it hurts their team to pay Kobe the fair amount for his career long services.

His new contract guarantees he'll play, just to fill seats. Their record of sell out games ended this season when Kobe wasn't playing.

You clearly don't know the type of person Kobe Bryant is if you can even suggest this. There were plenty of doctors talking about it, are you insane?

Doctors can get paid to say whatever Laker FO wants.

[fpliii]

I'll watch the games regardless, but this is brutal. I really hope this isn't the beginning of the end.

:(

[BlackVVaves]

Always sucks seeing a legend lose his battle with Father Time :(

Mitch needs to acclimate to reality and give his organization its best shot at a Top 7 pick. Especially since the Lakers don't own their 2015 pick.

[boozehound]

Its not the beginning of the end, its more like the middle of the end.

It will be interesting to see what happens to the player-first fans of kobe as he continues to decline. He is really the first fanboi supported player (not that iverson or jordan or even bird didnt have people who valued the individual over the team, but the internet era has changed it to an even more myopic view of a player) to enter his twilight.

Do the kobe-centric fans lose their interest in the nba? Do they jump on a new player? Is that player necessarily a laker?

[Lebron23]

Answer this question, are you happy Kobe is injured?


No

I always want to see Lebron and his team beat Kobe and his team during the Holidays.

[Levity]

He's going to miss plenty of games in the next 2 years.
it was a loyalty contract. what cant you comprehend about that? this is exactly why they gave it to him before he came back. kobe has given his whole adult life to the lakers, and they are well aware. and during that time, kobe and company won 5 nba championships. so this 50 million contract is a thank you for all that.

the lakers front office doesnt give a shiiit about all the complaining and ill words that are being thrown around regarding his contract. but you guys still cant get over it. crazy.

There's far more Lakers fans than Kobe first fans on this board.

[ProfessorMurder]

They're already moving to Paul George, just because George praised Kobe a few times and might stop LeBron from winning.

[Black and White]

Ah, so you've noticed the lack of cognitive sense as well.

It's a shame, really. I recall LeBron fanboys doing similar jeering when Rose got injured.

I swear, if we kept the middle-men trolls for entertainment purposes (as to avoid turning into other basketball forums), and threw all the Kobe and LeBron trolls into a thread and did a mass delete, ISH would be eternally improved.

If you believe in God then you should know this is God punishing Kobe for what he did a decade ago. I'm not judging him, but as a Christian I know God works in mysterious ways.

First the achilles injury now this. We can't ignore the signs. Just saying. :confusedshrug:

If that's the case then God must love Kobe and hate you. I mean after all, he's the one worth over a hundred million dollars with a private jet and you're just ... you. lol.

[Euroleague]

The Lakers organization is retarded. Every single person making decisions in that franchise is retarded.

The Achilles injury was a career ending injury for Kobe. Anyone his age having that injury is DONE.

Kobe's body is done, whether through that injury directly, or just with that injury being proof that his body had officially been 100% broken down for good.

The Lakers are retarded.

His body is 100% done and that was a fact the instant he had that Achilles injury. His body can't handle playing in the NBA anymore.

It's astonishing how anyone could not grasp that from the very first moment he got hurt last year. A freaking injury like that at age 35..........you are DONE.

How in the world anyone thought his body would ever hold up again.......Even if he had recovered from that injury, which he never ever will (it's complete bullshit to claim he did), of course he will keep getting injured over and over and over from now on.

This injury and more and more and more.

Kobe is done. Nash is done.

The Lakers management is colossally stupid.

[Tmuston Beltics]

Bad news for the NBA. I think he played too much too fast. It's a shame but I think Kobe will never be the same he was pre-injury. Anyone celebrating an injury of a player must have mental problems.

[TheMarkMadsen]

The doctor on ESPN said that with this type of injury Kobe should take 2 months off..before training again.

Basically everybody is tellin him to chill, take his time and be healthy for these next 2 years.

[TheMilkyBarKid]

Im by no means a kobe supporter but it is sad to see him out of action after working so hard to get back.
Will he be the same again consistently? Maybe not.
But knowing kobe he will probably leave us with at least a few more performances that we wont forget too soon.
Good luck black mamba.

[The-Legend-24]

Just fvcking tank, we weren't doing shit this year anyways.

[joeyjoejoe]

Say it ain't so Joe :(

Its so

[ripthekik]

He should just sit out this year. Get healthy, train slowly. Practice all the way into shape.

And F dantoni. He needs to be gone by next year. Who the hell thought of the idea of playing Kobe at PG, at his age, after just coming back from surgery? He needs to be fire ASAP.

Next year Nash should retire, dantoni gone, Lakers maybe get a good pick, and a fresh start for Kobe

He should sit out the rest of the season, get healthy over the summer and then come back next year with a full training camp.

If he gets hurt again by coming back too early, he runs the risk of totally shutting down the rest of his career.
