Kobe Bryant injured his right shoulder during the Lakers’ loss to the New Orleans Pelicans on Wednesday night. Bryant stayed in the game, but the injury was severe enough that he was forced to play with his left hand. Today, the Lakers confirmed the preliminary results of an MRI reveal that Bryant suffered a torn rotator cuff. He’s flying back to Los Angeles for further examination and there is no time table for his return.
