Kobe Bryant (Stephen Dunn/Getty Images North America)
skipped out on practice with the Lakers today to rest his ailing foot, which has some fans and followers a little concerned.
The superstar injured his right foot, leaving it bruised and sore, during the game Sunday night against the Sacramento Kings, reports
USA Today. The team lost, 99-92, and Bryant ended up with yet another injury, before the season even officially started.
In addition to the foot issue, Bryant also suffered a strained shoulder while in training camp this month.
And that wasn't the only injured player that emerged from Sunday's pre-season game. Metta World Peace dislocated his ringer in the game but popped it back in and kept playing. He was spotted with a splint on his middle finger Monday.
