Cue the collective "NOT AGAIN?!?" During tonight's preseason contest between the Los Angeles Lakers and Sacramento Kings, Kobe Bryant left the game early to tend to a left leg injury.
Luckily, it appears that the Lakers dodged a bullet because the injury is being ruled as a left leg contusion, which apparently occurred on this play.
While he missed the remainder of the game, head coach Byron Scott didn't think the injury was serious, adding that Bryant was kept out of action as a precautionary measure. Kobe should be able to play in the Lakers' next preseason game on Saturday.
