For the second game in a row, Kobe Bryant will be sit out for the Lakers due to a shin injury, this time Monday night against the Hornets, reports Mike Trudell of Lakers.com.
Kobe sat out Saturday night, when the Lakers got throttled by the Phoenix Suns in their worst loss of the year. However, that loss had more to do with the porous Lakers defense than it did Kobe being out.
