LOS ANGELES — Kobe Bryant’s 17th NBA season likely ended on an innocent move past a defender toward the hoop.

He felt a pop as he pushed off his left foot. The pain made him think somebody kicked him.

The Los Angeles Lakers are all but certain Bryant tore his Achilles tendon Friday night on that ordinary step in his extraordinary career.

“I made a move that I’ve made a million times, and it just popped,” he said solemnly, leaning on crutches in the Lakers’ locker room after a 118-116 win over Golden State.

The fourth-leading scorer in NBA history probably will miss the postseason for just the second time, even if Los Angeles hangs on to the eighth spot in the Western Conference playoff race without him. The 34-year-old who has spent half his life in a Lakers uniform realizes everybody will wonder if his career will ever be the same.

Moments after he went down, Bryant vowed to get back up.

“I know I can do this,” said Bryant, who’s averaging 27.3 points, 5.6 rebounds and 6.0 assists. “It’s fueling me. It’s fueling me. I can feel it already.”
