�He has been shooting the lights out in practice the last week or so,� Lakers coach Luke Walton said of Ball, who came into the game shooting 30.9 percent from the field and just 24.5 percent from 3. �I told him before the�NBA jerseys wholesale�game, I said, �Zo, you are going to be one of the best point guards in this league. You are. So embrace this challenge.� � Curry said he reached out to Bryant, because he knew the former Lakers star had dealt with a similar injury during his career. According to Curry, Bryant told him it was possible to play with the injury if it�s wrapped and padded, but that it was one of the more painful injuries he�d experienced in his career and NBA Christmas jerseys wholesale, and that it did not heal quickly. Bryant repeatedly chose to play with the injury, thereby declining surgery on his finger. Curry did not say whether his finger injury was severe enough to consider surgery, but stressed that he intended to continue playing through it. The challenge going forward will be pain management, and adjusting to playing with tape and padding on his shooting hand, Curry said. �It hurts,� Curry said. �But guys have played through worse than this. Obviously with your shooting hand, it�s one of those things you got to get adjusted to. I�m not used to playing with tape, a brace, wrist wrap, all that stuff. But I�ll get better with NBA Christmas jerseys.�
