Kobe Bryant is fatigued and if LeBron James, Kevin Durant, and Dwyane Wade can take PTO days, then so can Bryant. Lakers head coach Byron Scott is walking on eggs shells after Bryant went 8-30 in a horrible outing against the Kings.
Byron Scott says he might rest Kobe for a game. He knows Kobe will fight it. Kobe was 8 for 30 tonight with 9 turnovers.

Lakers coach Byron Scott said he will talk to Kobe Bryant about the possibility of sitting a game or two for fatigue after poor Kings play.

Lakers coach Byron Scott indicates he may rest Kobe for a game or two -Spurs style – to help him get his legs back. Has to sleep on it.

When Gregg Popovich wants to rest his big three, they sit. If Doc Rivers wants to rest Chris Paul or Blake Griffin, they’ll sit.
If Tom Thibodeau wants one of his guys to rest they’ll rest. The idea that Scott is unsure about how to convince Kobe to wear a suit for a game or two is ridiculous.
