Kobe Bryant: (Illness) Expected To Play Sunday

Bryant (illness/soreness) will likely play in Sunday's game against the Warriors, according to Lakers head coach Byron Scott

Analysis:

Bryant didn't sound so sure after Friday's game, in which he made just 1-of-14 field-goal attempts. It was reported afterward that he's dealing with a likely viral infection, which caused some aches in his body during the game. Bryant may be feeling better after a night of rest, and he's likely played through worse on multiple occasions. He should still be considered day-to-day but now seems like a good bet to play Sunday.
