Just wondering, will his back injury hinder him throughout the postseason? Will he have to play through this injury until the offseason (sort of like his pinky injury), or is this a type of injury that gets better over time?
Well if his back injury is serious, I wouldn't be surprized if he has to sit out multiple games to let it get healthy again. You have to use your back a lot when dribbling, and playing tough perimeter D, even shooting jump shots. However his back injury seems to be minor, he was capable of doing all that stuff for 40 minutes. (or whatever time he played)
this injury just needs some rest....so we need to close this out as soon as we can and hope that San Antonio extends their series.
The impression I got from Kobe's post-game interview was that his back will get even better as the days go by, it shouldn't hinder him too much, moreso it will just cause some stamina problems.
