LOS ANGELES (AP) -Kobe Bryant sat out for a fourth straight game, missing Tuesday night's contest against the Golden State Warriors.

The injury also kept him out of the All-Star Game. The defending NBA champion Lakers won all three games without Bryant before the break.

The 13-time All-Star really hasn't been right since. He missed all but four regular seaso |
