The L.A. Lakers are rumored to already be in talks of replacing injured Kobe Bryant. Andrew Goudelock was a second round pick by Los Angeles in 2011; however, the team released him before the 2012-13 season started. Still, he did play in about 40 games with the team and averaged 4.4 points per game while shooting 39 percent overall and 37 percent from three-point range.
Kobe Bryant tore his Achilles tendon during a game against the Golden State Warriors on April 11. It generally takes about 12 months for an injury of this type to completely heal, but reports say it may only take Kobe six to nine months to be back on the court.
Still, no one knows when and if Kobe will really return to the game. And, if the rumors are true, Andrew Goudelock could now have his big chance.
