Kobe Bryant leaves, returns from arm injury
Kobe Bryant - G - Los Angeles Lakers
March 5, 2013 - 10:15 PM ET
Kobe Bryant suffered an injury to his right forearm or elbow in the first quarter on Tuesday and asked out of the game in obvious pain, then headed straight to the locker room.
Kobe rarely shows any signs of being in pain, but he was clearly hurting, leaving his right arm dangling at his side and wincing in pain. He was able to return to the game with four minutes left in the first quarter, and it should be interesting to see how he shoots through the injury. It will also be worth watching to see if the injury will linger going forward, although it's being called a stinger, which is good news.
