Kobe Could Sit With Ankle Injury

[Dazed]

Lakers guard Kobe Bryant could miss his second straight game with a sore left ankle.

Los Angeles will take on San Antonio on Monday night.

The Lakers defeated the Trail Blazers 99-82 on Saturday night without Bryant. It marked the first game he missed since March 7, 2007, when he was suspended for a game.

Playing tired will only help them in the long run, and I guess I'm the only one who sees that. Though as for injuries, you don't want to mess with any ankle injuries. Ankles, calf muscles, and quads are all linked. If you don't stretch and one of those three come into factor, then you need to do your physical therapy before it gets any worse. As for being tired, they should be tired; that will just build strength.

About the ankles I know man..4 sprains. One was so bad that i need therapy for it and it will stay swollen forever its never gonna heal. Its cuz I have a bone thing that instead of having one bone running across the inner ankle I have 2 seperate, which make my ankles more likely to get hurt.

i am glad that kobe is sitting. it is better for him to get healthy and be able to perform at his highest level and not play injured. playoffs are where we need him the most. just rest kobe.
