Official decision on Kobe's rotator cuff will wait until Monday. That's when he consults with sports-medicine specialist Neal ElAttrache.

:confusedshrug:

Not sure why they're waiting until Monday, though. There's no doubt he's gonna be out the rest of the season. :(

In addition, can't forget that we're talking about an aging body here as well. He's no spring chicken...

Injured and was still able to put up 27/6/6 on 46% and dragged his team into the playoffs. We are not worthy. :bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown:
