Kobe Bryant isn’t talking
about his injury and how
it affected his
performance Sunday night
against Denver — he
scored only 16 points –
however we found out he
was in such agony, the
team doctor gave him an
injection in his wrist to
numb the pain, but it
hardly worked.Kobe tore
a ligament in his right
wrist during the first pre-
season game against the
Clippers. Sources
connected to the team tell
TMZ … the pain has been
excruciating. Our sources
say he’s gotten a numbing
shot before each game
since the injury, and as a
result the pain was
tolerable during play. But
we’re told the shot did
almost nothing Sunday
night, and as one source
put it, “It was a miracle
that he even played.”Our
Lakers sources tell us … in
addition to the numbing
shots, Kobe’s regimen is
now to play with a cast,
get physical therapy after
each game and wear a
flexible cast at all times
off the court.One source
put it this way … “If it was
anyone else but Kobe, if
they did play they’d come
up goose eggs on the
scoreboard. It’s incredible
he’s playing at all.”
