The Los Angeles Lakers expect star Kobe Bryant to miss the remainder of the season with a torn rotator cuff, according to sources.
Bryant met with doctors Friday, who found a significant tear in the rotator cuff. Bryant is expected to take the weekend to make a decision on whether to undergo surgery and has another doctor's appointment early next week.
Bryant suffered the tear during the second half of Wednesday night's loss to New Orleans, though sources said he has been dealing with the injury since the preseason.
