I made the announcement that Kobe joined Instagram and it didn’t take long for him to give us an inside look at his life. Last night Kobe went down with a devastating injury during the LA Lakers game against the Golden State Warriors. Kobe said he felt a pop and was practically certain that he tore his achilles. Still the Lakers had to have an MRI done today and the results are in. Read more after the jump.
The MRI revealed that Bryant suffered a fully ruptured Achilles tendon. According to the Lakers trainer recovery time is about 6-9 months. Given Kobe’s age and the wear and tear on his legs recovery might be especially difficult. Still Kobe is a fighter as we all know and he’s demonstrated several times.
He was even in a good enough mood to Instagram pictures of him getting an MRI and being wheeled into surgery with a funny little joke.
