OKLAHOMA CITY -- Los Angeles Lakers star Kobe Bryant will miss Saturday's game against the Thunder with a sore right shoulder, Lakers coach Byron Scott announced before tipoff.
Bryant recorded his first dunk of the season -- his 20th in the NBA -- on Thursday against the Houston Rockets, a right-handed slam over forward Clint Capela in the third quarter of a 107-87 loss.
Scott said he wasn't sure if the dunk is the reason Bryant's shoulder is sore.
"Anybody that saw the dunk [and] a couple days later, it's a little sore, you would put those two together," Scott said.
