Kobe Bryant was supposed to be out of the line up tonight against the Clippers because of a dislocated finger suffered against the Cleveland Cavaliers Monday but, he’s just tougher than you and he’ll play.
“Bryant did not practice Tuesday and he was wearing a splint made of plastic, aluminum and foam. When asked if he would play tonight against the Clippers, he indicated in the affirmative, in his own way. “What do you think?” he said. Bryant will take part in this morning’s shoot-around and determine if he needs to adjust his shot or his ballhandling to account for the discomfort. He also might experience soreness in the finger on defense, be it by hand-checking players, blocking shots or trying for steals.”
