Los Angeles Lakers All-Star guard Kobe
Bryant missed Monday's game against San Antonio due to a sprained left ankle.
It's the second straight game Bryant has sat out. He was also absent on
Saturday when the Lakers won in Portland, 99-82.
Bryant, who is averaging 28 points, 5.3 rebounds and 4.6 assists this season,
had played in 235 straight games before sitting Saturday. Last week, he became
the Lakers' all-time leading scorer, passing Jerry West. Bryant (25,246) is
now 33 points shy of Reggie Miller (25,279) for 13th on the NBA's all-time
scoring list.
The Lakers were also missing center Andrew Bynum from Monday's game. He's out
with a bruised right hip.
