Kobe Bryant has a sprained right wrist from his fall last night, but he did practice and is OK. Getting treatment after practice.
The Los Angeles Lakers say Kobe Bryant won’t play in Wednesday night’s preseason finale because of an injury suffered in the team’s first preseason game against the Clippers.
The team says Bryant is being listed as day-to-day. The Lakers say an MRI revealed that Bryant had torn a ligament in his right wrist.
The Lakers face the Clippers again on Wednesday night.
They open the regular season at home against the Chicago Bulls on Christmas Day.

It is early on and there have been champs in years gone by that have had poor starts, but that's awfully optimistic. You made a similar "quote me in June" type prediction last season and that was a better roster that was still swept in the second round. Maybe they make a move or they do play better than the sum of their parts and are able to seriously contend (at least being a top four seed is more plausible, though) but at this point, on paper, I'm guessing that making the WCF will be overachieving, let alone making it to the Finals or winning it all.

The team is actually hustling this season (so far) and what I love about Coach Brown is that he is holding every player accountable. I know that a lot of people are saying that we got Odom traded for nothing. It was a terrible deal because we got nothing in return but if you think about it, it does free up minutes and touches for Andrew Bynum. The team's season is dependent on him.

It also weakens the bench, which will be particularly noticeable if Bynum once again goes down with an injury.
