Kobe Bryant isn’t going to let this shoulder injury force him into retirement according to those closest to him and we wouldn’t expect anything else from the Mamba.
Those around Kobe say he is definitively coming back to play next season. Doesn’t want to go out like this.

Hopefully the Lakers put more help around Kobe next season so that he will have a chance to compete in the stacked Western Conference, not hover end his season fighting for the 8th spot.
