He's not going to miss the playoffs with a busted pinky. He sits out now, the Lakers don't make the playoffs. He'll play through it. Even if he does get surgery now and comes back in time for the playoffs, how will that affect the Lakers? They'd have to play a different style of basketball without Kobe. First off, would they be able to produce in that new style? And if they do, will Kobe's eventual return throw everyone for a loop? You don't want to be relearning an offense right before the playoffs. He'll play through it and be fine.
