Kobe re-injures hand; may sit out All-Star weekend events

Bad news for the fans, but good news for Kobe in terms of rest; even though it will be hard to not see the best in the world playing (maybe)… it’s good he’s resting up for what counts: the rest of the season and the Lakers’ legit title run…

O.C. Register: Bryant (29 points) aggravated the injury after a second-quarter slash from Rashad McCants — postgame X-rays showed no further damage — and Bryant will see a hand specialist Thursday. He is headed to New Orleans for All-Star weekend regardless, but he is questionable for the game and especially the 3-point contest Saturday.

“It’s not looking like I’ll be out there shooting 3s,” Bryant said.
