It was a rough sight, even as Bryant then shot (and made!) two free throws on one leg.
Despondent in the immediate aftermath, Bryant had surgery on his left foot and has been rehabbing in the hopes of being ready in time for October 29 — the first game of the 2013-14 season.

The scar, it must be said, is pretty bad-ass.
