Bryant update

Kobe Bryant didn't practice with his teammates today, sitting out to have treatment on his sprained left ankle. But Lakers coach Phil Jackson said he hopes Bryant will get on the court Thursday if only to work on his shooting. Said Jackson: It's still an ankle that was badly sprained.He's still going to be doing therapy a lot. Today, he stayed off it. Tomorrow, he may come on the court. I asked him if he could shoot to get some shots in. But we'll see about that." Bryant was hurt during the Lakers' victory Saturday over the Dallas Mavericks.
