D’Antoni on Kobe Playing Opening Night: “No, I Don’t Think So”

We’re just a mere weeks away from the start of the season, and everybody is still waiting to see what will happen with Kobe Bryant. Will he play? Will he not? It was just eight months ago when he tore his Achilles.

According to Mike D’Antoni, Kobe will miss the opener. I think that makes all the sense in the world because what’s the rush? They Lakers won’t be disqualified from the playoffs on day one. If he misses a month, it’s better in the long run for everybody.

Reporter: “Any chance that Kobe will be able to play in the first game against the Clippers?”

D’Antoni: “No. I don’t think so. We’ll see. I think it’s an ongoing process but that would be tough.”
