Kobe Bryant went down with a "severe ankle sprain" in the final seconds of the Los Angeles Lakers' loss on Wednesday night. While trying to fight back in a tight game on the road against the Atlanta Hawks, Kobe Bryant pulled up for a baseline jumper and missed. But more importantly, Bryant fell down awkwardly and appeared to roll his ankle as he landed.The injury occurred with the Lakers trailing by two, after Bryant put up a baseline jumper that slid off the rim with 3 seconds remaining. As he came down, his left foot landed on defender Dahntay Jones’ right foot, twisting awkwardly as Bryant crumpled to the court.With the Lakers trailing by two points in the final seconds, Bryant misfired on a potential game-tying jumper and injured his ankle when he landed on Dahntay Jones' foot. Bryant immediately fell to the ground, grabbed his ankle and began writhing in pain.

Either way, Hibbert didn't like it and pushed Curry onto the hardwood. Players continued to shove each other as the fight moved into the baseline stands. Hibbert was ejected following the incident that didn’t really live up to the “brawl” term that was spread on Twitter and the blogosphere.

Jennifer Lopez Scares The 'Tight Pants' Off Jimmy Fallon Tonight Show


Jennifer Lopez flashed her incredibly toned abs in a cropped sweater as she took part in a Tights Pants skit on Monday with Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show. The 44-year-old singing superstar joined 39-year-old Jimmy onstage as he started the skit that previously featured comedian Will Ferrell. J-Lo came out with her famous hips swiveling in a pair of painted-on white skinny jeans, a cropped green long-sleeve sweater, white shoes and wearing a bowl-cut wig.Lopez brought the same message and rocked the same hairstyle as Ferrell, but she paired her tight pants with a cropped turtleneck. Arguing that she should be the "only one" to sport the tightest pants in all the land, Lopez warned Fallon, "Don't make me take off my heels."It's hard to blame Fallon for wanting to wear his groovy tight trousers, but when Lopez joins "The Tonight Show" in Orlando next week to promote her new album A.K.A., it'll probably be best to just go with a relaxed fit.
