06:45 AM ET 02.09 | Kobe Bryant watched the game from the locker room after receiving treatment for a sprained left ankle. An MRI exam earlier in the day confirmed a sprain. The NBA doesn't like its players sitting out the All-Star game, but if Bryant doesn't play Wednesday at Utah, he probably has the option of sitting out Sunday's game at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas. If he continues to stay off the court, Bryant will pocket a total of 10 days' rest before the Lakers' first game after the break, next Tuesday against Golden State.

I think kobe doesnt like neither to sit out the asg... but after all the ailments he suffers from, he should take a little, well deserved break to try to heal as much as he can...

He should take the time off. He should know by know that doing what it takes to stay healthy and fresh for May and June is far more important than a few games, especially an exhibition, in February.

Does he want to sit out? No
Should he sit out? Yes
The best thing that's happened since Kobe went out is the Lakers beating the Spurs and Blazers at Portland. With those 2 games, he doesn't feel rushed to come back. I could see him sitting out until next Tuesday, but I don't think he'll skip the ASG

I totally agree! He need to take the break to let the ankle and the injured finger get recover as much as possible

Mike looks at Kobes 1 ring that he has where Shaq didnt carry him and laughs at the thought that his throne is under attack by Kobe. Lebron has a better chance of ever being in Jordans class than Kobe.
No English?

Wow, go ahead and scratch the spurs off the list of nba contenders they got beat by a Kobe and Bynum less team.

Lakers are playing like crazy without him. Maybe he should sit out the Championship series and let the team win one for him.
Just kidding of course...Go Lakers!

C'mon man. If Jodan didn't have Pippen, he probably would have only won 1 championship.
How many did Jordan get w/o Pippen??
Jordan or Kobe wouldn't have a ring if it wasn't for there other all-star counterparts.
And none of them would have championships w/o Phil and Phil wouldn't have championships without Jordan or Kobe.
Magic was the best during his generation. Bird is close behind.
Jordan was the best during his generation.
Kobe is the best during his generation.
Lebron will be the best during his generation and after kobe leaves.

Lakers are playing team ball. They look like the Rockets without Yao. Some kind of way they are beating teams they should have lost to.
