EL SEGUNDO, Calif. - Kobe Bryant will have surgery Wednesday on his torn right rotator cuff, likely ending his 19th season with the Los Angeles Lakers.Bryant seriously aggravated a lingering shoulder ache while dunking last week in New Orleans. The star guard and the Lakers decided Monday on surgery, which typically requires several months of rehabilitation.The Lakers will announce a timetable for Bryants recovery after surgery, but coach Byron Scott anticipates losing the third-leading scorer in NBA history for the rest of the year.Kobe is probably not going to play again this season, Scott said.We all know how tough he is, Scott added after Mondays practice. Hes a trooper, so we pray for him that his return will be sooner rather than later.The 36-year-old Bryants torn rotator cuff is likely his third straight season-ending injury. He missed the 2013 playoffs with a torn Achilles tendon, and he played just six games last season before breaking a bone near his left knee. His famously resilient body has finally worn down from the accumulated grind of nearly two decades and several lengthy postseasons with the Lakers, including five NBA title runs.After returning at nearly full strength in training camp, Bryant sat out eight games to rest in the last month and played on a strict minutes limit. He still dealt with assorted aches and setbacks before he injured his shoulder.Bryant met with Neal ElAttrache of the Kerlan Jobe Orthopaedic Clinic on Monday, determining his injurys extent and deciding on surgery. He is averaging 22.3 points, 5.7 rebounds and 5.6 assists in 35 games this season, but shooting a career-worst 37.3 per cent in a wildly inconsistent season.The Lakers reacted to the news with disappointment and respect for Bryant, who was selected to the All-Star game for the 17th time last week.Kobe is a warrior, Lakers forward Carlos Boozer said. Hes strong, and hes going to attack rehab like he always has.The Lakers also discouraged speculation that Bryants career might be over. He is the NBAs highest-paid player at $23.5 million this season, and he is under contract for $25 million next year.I think hes done everything that you can possibly do in this league, and I think at times, we dont appreciate all the stuff that hes been able to accomplish, Scott said. I dont think we appreciate how tough he is, all the injuries and other things that hes played with, to be able to come back the way that hes come back. I dont see Kobe as the type of guy that wants to leave his legacy on (these) terms. I think he wants to go out on his own terms. Well just have to wait and see.The Lakers (12-33) are in the midst of another aimless season, losing eight straight heading into Tuesdays visit from Washington. The 16-time NBA champion franchise is almost certain to miss the playoffs in consecutive seasons for the first time since 1976.The Lakers also owe a first-round draft pick to the Phoenix Suns to complete their disastrous trade for Steve Nash, who played just 65 games in the last three years and never suited up this season. But Los Angeles will keep the pick this summer if it lands in the top five, providing ample incentive for fans to hope the Lakers collapse is total.Bryant wasnt at the Lakers training complex Monday, and he didnt attend their loss to Houston on Sunday night. Scott plans to speak with Bryant throughout the week to see what hes thinking about his future, but he hopes Bryant isnt ready to quit.With the Achilles last year, everybody said he was done, Scott said. He came back and I think the first month of the season, he proved to everybody that he still has a lot left in the tank. I think he still has that hunger and that competitive nature to come out and prove it again. After the surgery, Ill talk to him and see how it is. Well talk and well go from there.
