LA Lakers player Kobe Bryant will miss the rest of the NBA season with a suspected torn Achilles tendon.

LA Lakers player Kobe Bryant has been ruled out for the remainder of the NBA season with a suspected torn Achilles tendon.

The 34-year-old suffered the injury during his side's 118-116 victory over Golden State Warriors.

The shooting guard had scored 34 points for the Lakers before he was forced off with just over three minutes remaining.

Bryant has been a regular in the Lakers lineup this season, becoming the first player aged 34 or older to play over 3,000 minutes in an NBA season in 11 years.
