Kobe Bryant

Kobe Bryant watched the game last night from the locker room after receiving treatment for a sprained left ankle. An MRI exam earlier in the day confirmed a sprain.

The NBA does not like its players sitting out the All-Star game, but if Bryant is not able to play Wednesday at Utah, he probably has the option of sitting out Sunday’s game at Cowboys Stadium.

If he continues to stay off the court, Bryant will pocket a total of 10 days’ rest before the Lakers’ first game after the break, next Tuesday against Golden State.
