Kobe Bryant

Lakers' Kobe Bryant ruled out Tuesday

Los Angeles Lakers guard, Kobe Bryant (shoulder) has been ruled out of Tuesday's game versus the Orlando Magic.

What It Means:

Bryant was coming into tonight with a 50-50 chance of playing, so it appears the coin flipped the wrong way for the aging veteran. Expect D'Angelo Russell, Jordan Clarkson, and even Nick Young to get some more run Tuesday with Bryant and Lou Williams out.

Bryant is having one of the his more inefficient seasons of his career, with a nERD of -10.8, which is ranked second worst in the league.
