These tournaments are actually pretty energy demanding. You play a ton of hours per day, and being occupied all day at a poker tournament in a pretty stationary position can't be good for his rehabilitation.

So, no surprise if his doc said no on this given his rehabilitation process.

Hope Kobe doesn't develop a gambling problem in his old age. We all know how much he does it on D.
