Los Angeles (AFP) - Kobe Bryant will make next season his last with the Los Angeles Lakers after 20 years that have produced five NBA titles, Lakers general manager Mitch Kupchak said.
"He has indicated to me this is it," Kupchak told SiriusXM NBA Radio. "He's on the last year of a deal. There have been no discussions about anything going forward. I don't think there will be."
The 36-year-old guard has played for the Lakers for his entire NBA career, but has been nagged by injuries in recent seasons and unable to display the form that made him a 17-time All-Star, two-time NBA scoring champion and two-time Olympic champion.
