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.
