Lakers’ Kobe Bryant misses practice to cool off

Kobe Bryant reported to the Lakers’ practice facility on Monday before soon finding out he would not practice. The reasons had less to do with the 37-year-old Bryant’s health. Instead, it had more to do with Bryant’s demeanor following the Lakers’ 103-93 to Dallas on Sunday where Bryant posted 15 points on only 3-of-15 shooting from the field and a 2-of-8 clip from 3-point range.

“I know he’s frustrated and I want him to take a day off to get away from it a little bit,” Scott said. “He’ll be all right tomorrow.”

The Lakers (0-3) sure hope so.
