LOS ANGELES — Kobe Bryant took to Facebook in the wee hours of Saturday morning to vent about the Achilles tendon injury that likely ended his season, writing the “frustration is unbearable” but the setback will not end his career.
Findlay Prep point guard Nigel Williams-Goss will participate in the Jordan Brand Classic all-star basketball game today at the Barclays Center in New York. The game features 22 of the top players from the class of 2013 and will be televised at 5 p.m. on ESPN2 (Cable 31).
