Kobe Bryant missed practice today because of a sore throat and is considered day to day, a team spokesman said.
Knowing Bryant's threshold for pain and discomfort, it would be surprising only if he didn't play Monday in Game 1 of the Western Conference semifinals against Houston.
Bryant averaged 27.4 points, 5.6 assists and five rebounds in the first round against Utah.
no biggie right? if he can play through a dislocated finger he could play through a soar throat.
hope its nothing serious and it escalates to a flu or something
