DENVER — Lakers guard Kobe Bryant traveled from Denver to Los Angeles on Sunday morning after sitting out in Saturday’s loss against Oklahoma City because of soreness in his right shoulder, according to multiple sources familiar with the situation.
Although Bryant is receiving treatment in hopes to play in Tuesday’s game against the Denver Nuggets at Pepsi Center, sources say Bryant does not plan to see a doctor in Los Angeles. Bryant mainly returned to Los Angeles to spend time with his family, sources said.
Bryant plans to travel back to Denver sometime on Monday. The Lakers (4-23) currently list Bryant’s status as probable to play on Tuesday against the Nuggets (11-15).
