Bryant is a game-time decision

Kobe Bryant didn’t join the Lakers today for their video session and light workout, and after he arrived for treatment on his sprained left ankle, he declined to speak to reporters. Lakers coach Phil Jackson said he expected Bryant’s participation in Monday’s game against the Orlando Magic wouldn’t be made until right before the opening tip. Bryant hurt his ankle late in the third quarter of Saturday’s victory over the Dallas Mavericks. He hasn’t missed a game this season.
