By now, you have to have heard about Kobe Bryant’s torn Achilles. It’ll put him out of the rest of the season and, should the Lakers hang on, the playoffs, too.
He’ll likely miss at least some of next season, although the Lakers were saying today that the recovery time is 6-9 months — and the goal is to have him back at the start of next season. As for amnestying him? Forget it, GM Mitch Kupchak said. Not even being discussed.
Hello and welcome to the 6 O’Clock News.
As the NBA regular season dies down and the playoff races heat up, we’ll keep you updated every day at 6 O’Clock. What’s happening today?
Here’s the latest news around the league:
With only five games on the NBA schedule on Easter Sunday, many players around the league will be taking the day off to celebrate with their families before getting back to work tomorrow.

Having been a Philadelphia 76ers fan for nearly four decades, that’s a pretty big deal. Usually there are only three circumstances that can get me to throw my allegiance behind a team I have despised for as long as I’ve watched the NBA.

2. By winning, the Celtics would get a tougher playoff opponent.
3. By winning, the Celtics would prevent a zombie apocalypse.
