Kobe Bryant has flu-like symptoms and is not at shootround. We'll have an update later from the arena.

He'll play

[Lakerace24]

Yeah, he'll be good to go. He told me right before he dropped me off for class in the Mamba Copter so I wouldn't have to worry about parking today. We're bros..

Reminds me of Jordan's flu like symptoms then drop 50s on his opponents...

mamba plays...

Bench needs to play well and our bigs need to play well with Kobe having the flu. Last 2 times we've lost to Indiana at home so they can play well here.

[True Lakers Fan]

he seems to play at a high level when he's sick

[lakerfandude]

What's up with Kobe and the flu? He seems to have a couple flu games every year.. I think he needs to start taking his annual flu shot. That being said, he always plays through them and usually does quite well.

Talking about a flu shot? Seems like every time I get a flu shot, I get the flu about 2-3 weeks later???

But my health insurance covers the cost so I get the shot anyway.

I'm pretty sure Kobe can play with the flu, since he's known to play with injuries.

Flu shots are bad for you, m'kay. For real,

Should still beat a team that doesn't have Danny Granger with or without Kobe

[manaro90]

Dwight needs to score more if Kobe misses to game. I mean with scoring more that he needs TO BE THE MAN like he was in Orlando!

Cause I bet ya Pau will dont do ANYTHING as usual and Metta will hit his open 3s and thats basicly it ...so we need Dwight and Meeks as a starter too.

Players step up when the star is out. Happens all the time. The last few years when Kobe has been out we've had more complete team efforts.

Kobe will play though, hard to see him missing.

In that case we should beat every team but the pacers, because every team but the pacers do t have Danny granger

[manaro90]

Remember when Kobe was out in 2009-10 and we had this grand game with shannon brown, sasha vujacic and jordan farm and lamar explosion in portland where we beat them on the road and utah too WITHOUT KOBE? DAMN! I WANT THIS TONIGHT

[haztronic]

He's getting older so gets sick more hahah. But I'm sure he will play still, however we don't know how bad these symptoms are.
