Kevin Ding on Kobe:
Kobe was examined today by Lakers doctor and ruled out for the rest of the season by the team.
Hardly unexpected, and the right move. His knee just wasn't healing very quickly. What's the point of rushing back? So he can risk re-injury and still not make the playoffs?
This way, Kobe has the entire summer to rehab and heal. Then he can (hopefully) be back full strength in 2014-2015.
