Kobe Bryant Sprains Right Pinkie
(CBS) -- Kobe Bryant sprained the pinkie finger on his right hand in the first quarter but still played 36 minutes. After the game, Bryant said he was fine.
X-rays taken after the game on Bryant's right pinkie finger came back negative and the injury is listed as a pinkie sprain. Bryant suffered an avulsion fracture on a different joint of the same finger in February 2008 against New Jersey, which happened to be Pau Gasol's first game with the Lakers.
