We like to start our day searching the web and reading articles about our beloved LA sports teams. It’s easy to get lost in the depth of the inter web, but luckily for you we have compiled a list of the most interesting and pertinent news stories for your morning reading pleasure. For this edition, let’s dive into the news surrounding the Los Angeles Lakers.
ESPN discusses the notion that the Lakers didn’t treat Kobe Bryant properly:
“Kobe Bryant might have said it at a practice or a game, and he might have said it a month ago, or maybe longer. Byron Scott doesn’t quite remember.
What the Lakers coach does remember is his star guard saying that his shoulder was bothering him.
“You all right?” Scott said he asked Bryant.
“I’m all right,” Bryant replied.
The two never talked about the issue again, Scott said.
Then Wednesday, in a loss to the New Orleans Pelicans, Bryant tore the rotator cuff in his right shoulder, an injury that will likely sideline him for the rest of the season, though a final decision on that will be made early next week, likely Monday.
But Friday, before the Lakers’ 99-85 loss to the San Antonio Spurs here, Scott recounted two rather serious missteps regarding Bryant’s health that Scott said could very well be tied to Bryant’s latest ailment.
The first issue is well known: Scott simply played the 36-year old Bryant way too many minutes earlier this season — a team-high 35.4 per night during the team’s first 27 games — even though he said Bryant asked to play fewer minutes from the start. ”

Bleacher Report tries to predict who will stay/go at the end of the season:
“All bets are off when it comes to the Los Angeles Lakers and their precarious, unpredictable future.
At this point in a miserable season that will likely surpass last year’s 27-55 record of futility, the Lakers roster is likely to turn over dramatically heading into next fall.
No one is safe at this point, and that includes the injured Kobe Bryant, who appears to be done for the season after suffering a torn rotatorcuff last Wednesday against the New Orleans Pelicans. ”
