ESPN: Kobe Bryant won’t play in the Los Angeles Lakers’ game against the Golden State Warriors on Tuesday, a team source told ESPN The Magazine’s Ric Bucher.
Bryant participated in a full practice Monday after missing the Lakers’ last three games and the All-Star Game while recovering from a high left ankle sprain, but his condition has appeared to worsen a day after the workout on the ankle.
Lakers coach Phil Jackson told reporters Monday that Bryant looked rusty, but didn’t make any reference to the ankle possibly still bothering the Lakers guard.
“[Bryant] hasn’t played in two weeks, so there’s a lot of things that he was trying out and trying to figure out [such as] passes that went awry and shots that he was reluctant to shoot, but he’ll come, he’ll come [around],” Jackson said.
