#SoleWatch: NBA Power Rankings for January 25

Three favorites have their seasons come to an end.

#SoleWatch takes a hit from potential season-ending injuries suffered by a few familiar faces.

Kobe Bryant (rotator cuff), Kendall Marshall (ACL) and Tony Wroten (ACL) are all likely done for the year after unfavorable diagnoses this week. The biggest name is obviously Bryant, who won't be able to wear the Nike Kobe 10 after it's officially unveiled this week.

The injuries make room for new guys, like Minnesota Timberwolves forward Anthony Bennett. One of the league's well-informed sneakerheads stood out this week in the original Nike Air Flightposite 3 and makes his #SoleWatch Power Rankings debut.

P.J. Tucker of the Phoenix Suns also had a strong week, highlighted by wearing another old Air Jordan Player Exclusive. Was his lineup strong enough to move him into the top spot?

Read on to see how things shook out this week.
