I guess Jordan Clarkson will replace him in the second unit.

Welcome to the team, Wayne.

Final Roster:

PG - Nash, Lin, Price
SG - Kobe, Clarkson, Ellington
SF - Johnson, Henry
PF - Boozer, Randle, Kelly
C - Hill, Davis, Sacre

IR - Young

I see Lin having to play some minutes at the 2 and Kobe at the 3. Seems like Randle is getting minutes at the 3 as well.

More minutes for Jordan, but I don't look at this as a negative thing. We won't be the only team with injuries, some teams will have some way more serious than us.

Tough luck smh

Damn we're really thin at the 3. Kobe sliding at SF when Wes goes to the bench just means extended minutes for Kobe which could be bad news.

This does open up minutes for X though. Although this might really just be step 1 of Kobe's master plan to kill Nick Young.

Whenever Kobe injured a hand, he just learned to play the game with the other one.

He's injured too.

Is Byron Scott's training camp maybe taking it's toll on the players, players pushing themselves too much, or is it just tough luck?

Can't do much to a thumb with running.

Maybe Scott had them touch the lines on their suicides.

Last year this guy **** up our tank and now when we want to win he starts the tank early. SMH

Tough break. am not always hard with injuries except if it is on your shooting hand. Because his shot will suffer. I still hope he will be able to work on his conditions with the team and learn the offense during the 5-0 so he understands the new offense though

Basketball gods want 35-40mins of kobe ... Silver lining, it's preseason so he only misses like a month and is back in December. Nick has no prob working hard so he will be back, just look at last year with a knee injury
