Kobe Bryant

Kobe Bryant questionable for Lakers on Tuesday

Los Angeles Lakers guard Kobe Bryant (shoulder) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Orlando Magic.

What It Means:

Bryant played 24 minutes against the Golden State Warriors on Sunday in the Lakers' win, but it was pretty clear his shoulder is still giving him some issues. D'Angelo Russell and Jordan Clarkson's usage will likely go up if Bryant is forced to miss the game, and Nick Young will be in line for some more shots, as well.

Bryant's retirement tour has had its ups and downs, but Bryant's nERD is currently -10.8, which is second to only Emmanuel Mudiay's borderline historic -13.7 nERD for worst in the NBA this year. Despite his awful efficiency, Bryant is still averaging 16.7 points, 3.2 rebounds and 4.1 assists, which isn't bad for a half-broken-down 37-year-old.
