Kobe Bryant walked out of the Lakers’ practice facility on Thursday at a blistering pace. The last thing he wanted to do was slow down and talk to nearby reporters, who surely wanted to hear from the Lakers’ star about Lamar Odom’s tenuous health.
But Bryant’s quick first step does not mean he is healthy. The Lakers (1-4) listed Bryant as doubtful to play against the Golden State Warriors (1-2) on Saturday in San Diego after he missed Thursday’s practice because of a bruise in his lower left leg. Bryant left the third quarter of Tuesday’s game against Sacramento after getting kneed in his left leg.
