Bryant injured his right shoulder in the second half of the Lakers' loss at New Orleans on Wednesday. An exam in San Antonio revealed the tear, the club says.
As a right-handed shooter, the Lakers' legend made a 14-foot jumper with his left hand in the game after a brief treatment and played essentially with one arm in the rest of the game.
Bryant headed home to Los Angeles while the Lakers prepared to play the Spurs on Friday.
