Kobe Bryant Getting His Finger Popped Back Into Place is a Tough Watch
By Kyle Koster
Kobe Bryant’s farewell tour is coming to a close. The Los Angeles Lakers have no chance of making the playoffs but the future Hall of Famer can’t be accused of mailing it in.
Bryant dislocated his finger in the final minutes of last night’s loss to the San Antonio Spurs. Team trainer Gary Vitti popped it back into place, much to the horror of a fan sitting courtside.
Bryant promptly sank a jumper but the Lakers’ comeback fell short.
On the bright side: Kobe capitalized on the rare opportunity to flip the media off consequence-free during the postgame.

X-rays came back negative and Bryant is expected to play Sunday against the Bulls.
