[DeadlyDynasty]

I didn't realize Devin Ebanks was still on the team

[[[Kobe Bryant sat out the Los Angeles Lakers' game against the Phoenix Suns on Saturday night with an injured left shin, the first game he's missed this season.

Lakers longtime trainer Gary Vitti said just before tipoff he decided to put Bryant's left foot in a protective boot to rest the injury.

"It's very painful," Vitti said. "He's been playing with this and it's not getting any better. Really the only way to stop it is to shut him down. That's why I put him in a boot." ]]]

Thank you. Like pulling ing teeth.

I saw Ebanks live at the Summer League when he was drafted and was impressed. He really does remind me of Ariza. Very similar game.

[ElNono]

Redd ridiculous

[Venti Quattro]

But he's been thrown to the back burner like Goudelock.

ing Michael Redd.

[DPG21920]

He's resting. He said he would play if it's the playoffs.

[midnightpulp]

He could have played, was playing with the "injury" and if it were the playoffs they said he would play. That's resting.

Yep. Resting.

Bryant received a massage and had kinesio tape applied to his shin before the Suns game but decided to sit out about 15 minutes prior to tip off.

Funny thing is, only Culburn would have a problem with Kobe resting. I'm sure Venti, Killa, and the majority of Lakers nation welcome a night off for a near 34 year old veteran who has been run into the ground this year.

[DPG21920]

Artest is going to murder someone. Mur.der.

[ElNono]

Metta been pretty mad lately

[DPG21920]

It's smart to rest Kobe, now he's on board with what Pop does.

[ElNono]

goddamned Redd...

[Danny.Zhu]

remind me not to talk about Redd when we play the suns

I thought Bowen recognized his attacking skills.

Ya, it says he could have played and chooses not to.

[Venti Quattro]

Are they really going to allow the Suns to score 40 in this quarter?

defensive specialist coach

[Spur_Fanatic]

My guess is that Gasol/Bynum will win this, right at the end.

They are that good.

Mike Clown's defensive patterns are .

Kobe Bryant on sitting out the Los Angeles Lakers' game against the Phoenix Suns on Saturday: "I was wearing down a little bit and needed to rest. I'm fine though. If this were a playoff game, I'd be playing. The shin is sore, but not an issue. This is about getting my body right and not pushing too hard before the playoffs." This is the first game he's missed this season.
