Kobe Bryant had surgery yesterday (January 28th) to repair his torn right rotator cuff, and the L.A. Lakers said he’d be out for nine months.

However, the team also effectively confirmed that Kobe, who’s turning 37 this summer, isn’t planning to retire, and will try to play his 20th season in the fall.

Bryant hurt his right shoulder while dunking last week in New Orleans.
