After missing out on seven games, Kobe Bryant will return tonight to play against the San Antonio Spurs. Bryant was out with injury for the past two weeks due to a left shin injury.
Mike Brown says he will not limit Kobe's minutes.
"Obviously with who he is, the way he's played the game and his experience and all that, it's a welcome addition to the team," Brown said. "In terms of him fitting in, he's so intelligent that I think it will be a seamless (transition)."
The Lakers were able to play well without Bryant, going 5-2. The Lakers look to continue their winning ways as they look to lock up the third seed for the playoffs.
"The good thing about (Bryant returning) is we'll have a few games before the playoffs to try to make sure that we're as right as we can be going into the second season," Brown said.
This is the third game between the Lakers and Spurs in the past two weeks. Los Angeles won the first meeting 98-94, but the Spurs quickly bounced back with a 112-91 victory.
We'll see what happens tonight.
Kobe back!
