Kobe Bryant scored 35 points on Sunday to lead the Los Angeles Lakers to a 104-94 win over the Philadelphia 76ers at the Staples Center.
The bad news continued, however. Center Kwame Brown left the game in the third quarter with a severely sprained left ankle. X-Rays were termed “inconclusive” and he will undergo further tests on Monday.

Losing Brown is a further blow to Los Angeles’ frontcourt. Forward Lamar Odom has missed the last 10 games with a sprained right knee and could be out as much as another six weeks.
Bryant had an efficient night, making 15 of 22 shots from the floor. Smoosh Parker added 12 points and Luke Walton contributed 11.
