Kobe sprains ankle, but Lakers prevail LOS ANGELES—Kobe Bryant went down hard and did not return, though the Los Angeles Lakers were able to defeat LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers without him. Bryant sustained what the team called a severely sprained right ankle and had to be helped off the court early in a 98-94 victory Thursday night. X-rays were negative, but Bryant will have an MRI on Friday. Lamar Odom had 24 points, eight rebounds and seven assists, and Caron Butler added 21 points and 11 rebounds for the Lakers, who won for the third time in four games. James led Cleveland with 28 points, a season-high 13 rebounds and nine assists to just miss his first career tripledouble. Jeff Mclnnis added 20 points and Zydrunas Ilgauskas had 13 points and 15 rebounds for the Cavaliers, who had their four-game winning streak snapped. Bryant, the NBAs second-leading scorer with a 28.2-point average, was injured when he landed on Ira Newble 's right foot while going for a rebound under the Cavaliers' basket with 5:39 left in the first quarter. Newble was called for a foul on the play. Bryant immediately grabbed his ankle before teammate Brian Grant and trainer Gary Vitti helped him off the court and into the Staples Center tunnel, where Grant and injured Los Angeles forward Devean George carried him into the locker room. Bryant had two points and three assists before leaving with the game tied at 15. Bryant injured his right shoulder late in the first quarter of a game against the Cavaliers last January at Staples Center when he collided with former Cleveland guard Kedrick Brown , causing him to miss six games. James visited the Lakers' locker room at halftime to check on Bryant. Eric Snow 's 3-pointer ~ his only points of the game - gave the Cavaliers an 87-86 lead with 2:41 to play. But a basket by Odom and two free throws by Chucky Atkins put the Lakers on top 90-87 with 1:38 left. The Associated Press |
