Los Angeles Lakers star forward Kobe Bryant said on Wednesday his right
knee injury was not serious and may not prevent him from competing in the NBA
preseason.
Bryant said he had felt better on Wednesday after he injured his right knee
on Tuesday in the Los Angeles Lakers' 102-98 win over the Charlotte Bobcats in
San Diego.
Bryant, the reigning league MVP, was injured under the Lakers' basket when he
banged knees with teammate Josh Powell while going for a rebound.
"There was no swelling. At that point, I knew I was OK. Some injuries can go
either way. You've got to get lucky. I didn't sleep much, to be honest with you.
Just moving it around, seeing if it was all right," said
Bryant.
