Kobe may withdraw from the All Star Game and 3 point contest with a dislocated pinky.
He didn't. They had Shaw, Kobe, Rider/Rice and probably a half dozen other players ahead of him on the depth chart.Quote:

Kobe has a torn ligament in his finger.
Nowitzki will replace him in the 3 point contest, but the Lakers were told by the league that they aren't looking for a replacement for him in the All Star Game.
If they do, I say Baron.
I'd agree with Baron Davis. He's been quietly having a great season for GSW.
Outdoor Preseason Game:
I know it's preseason, but that sucks. Outdoor basketball is completely different than indoor. I know they'll use hardwood and a regular ball, but it's going to be an ugly game, I promise you that. They better hope for ZERO wind.Quote:
Taking a page out of the NHL's playbook, the NBA is heading to the great outdoors when the Phoenix Suns and Denver Nuggets square off in an October exhibition game, according to a published report.
Indian Wells Tennis Garden will host the Oct. 11 Suns-Nuggets exhibition game.
The matchup will be held at the Indian Wells Tennis Garden in Indian Wells, Calif., on Oct. 11, The Arizona Republic reports. The stadium seats 16,100 fans and annually hosts the Pacific Life Open tennis tournament.
According to the newspaper, the Suns visited the game site last summer and put down a basketball court on the tennis surface. The Suns are also expected to bring a scoreboard and video boards for the game.
An official announcement of the game is expected Tuesday.
Once before, according to the paper, an NBA game has been played outdoors. Phoenix was also part of that event when it faced Milwaukee in Puerto Rico in 1972.
I think it's cool, for a preseason game. Tennis stadiums are pretty intimate, I doubt there would be a ton of wind. Sun in the eyes would probably be the biggest problem, or possibly just fatigue from hotter temperatures. It might not be 100 in October, but it will still be hotter than a climate controlled inside court.
I like it as well.
lakers up over 40 on the hawks in the first half. damn.
kobe and gasol already have some chemistry going.
bibby is basically playing w/o a thumb on his bad hand. hard to imagine how you play basketball without a thumb on your right hand.
