Los Angeles Lakers' guard Kobe Bryant has decided against having surgery to repair damage in his right pinkie finger, according to Associated Press.
Bryant previously announced that he will undergo surgery to repair the torn ligament and an avulsion fracture in his right pinkie. He suffered the injury Feb. 5 in a game against the New Jersey Nets.
However, he opted not to have surgery after discovering that the recovery time following the procedure could be 12 weeks.
Los Angeles opens training camp on Sept. 27, while the 2008-09 season kicks off Oct. 28 against Portland.
