Any updates on Bean's injury/status for tomorrow?

[Baseline]

Bryant's status for tomorrow is that he will be arrogant, selfish, overrated, and will shoot less than 40%.

That guy needs to give it up already...what is he like 45 now? I guess it's hard for the old men to admit that they're old and need to hang em up already...

..."I thought I was done, like done," Bryant said after the game, fearing he would be out for the rest of the season after suffering what he described as the scariest sprain he's ever had. "I was just praying that when I stood up my foot was lined up straight ... That scared the s--- out of me. I thought I dislocated it.

"We were all pretty scared s---less, to be honest with you because it looked horrible and it felt worse."


..."As soon as I stood up I was excited that my foot was still straight," Bryant said. "I was happy to see that it was lined up and then I walked in [the locker room] and said, 'OK, maybe it's just a sprained ankle and I can deal with it.' "


..."The ankle was already weak," Bryant said. "And it just went."


..."The strength felt good, I could push off on it," Bryant said. "It was still sore, so I had to stop being a chump and just suck it up and go out there and play."


...Bryant's ankle was taped after the game and he walked without the aid of any sort of crutch.

"It's pretty swollen, it's like a baseball outside of my ankle, but the strength is still good," Bryant said. "So even though it looks horrible, I can still push off of it and things like that."


..."It's going to be a situation that we'll have to watch for a couple days," Lakers head coach Phil Jackson said of Bryant's health. "We hope he's able to play on Monday.

"That was severe sprain. That was a severe accident that he had out there. We'll see his recovery. He's pretty good at recovering at things like that."


..."I'll just do what I always do: don't sleep, get treatment around the clock and I should be fine," Bryant said.
