With a torn ligament in his wrist and a Laker team that doesn’t seem quite perfect, Kobe says that he is good enough to play on the Lakers season opener. Even though I am not a Laker fan, I don’t feel this is the best idea for Kobe if this injury is serious. At the end of the day, it’s one game that you can sit out and miss. The best idea is to let your wrist heal properly and come back playing at 100%. Yes, he’s Kobe Bryant, yes fans want to see him play, yes, he’s played through a ton of injuries, but is it smart to really risk playing one game that can possibly cause a season ending injury?
