Lakers' Byron Scott unlikely to reduce Kobe Bryant's role or minutes

Kobe Bryant has missed nearly every shot he takes. Bryant has missed nearly every practice and morning shootaround. Bryant has missed three games because of concerns surrounding both a sore back and fatigue.

Yet, Lakers coach Byron Scott maintained that he has not considering adjusting Bryant’s role or his minutes.

“The last few days he said he feels great,” Scott said following Wednesday’s practice at the Lakers’ practice facility in El Segundo. “I don’t think it’s a matter of him being tired. It’s a matter of his timing being a little off.”

Bryant’s’ shot has been more than off amid the Lakers’ 2-12 record.
