According to Mark Medina of L.A. Daily News Kobe Bryant will not play in tonight’s game against the Portland Trail Blazers:
“Medina also reported that Bryant will not even make the trip to Portland in an effort to save the 36 year old’s legs. Kobe Bryant sat out two weeks again after struggling with fatigue and old age.
Head Coach Byron Scott told Medina and dailysportsnews.com that Bryant is fine with the rest and that it didn’t take any convincing to do.
“You (reporters) might think he probably argued about it. But he said it sounds good to him,” Scott said. “He stuck to his plan of ‘Whatever you want to do.’ ”
