Kobe Bryant: '50-50' to play Tuesday

Bryant (shoulder) is still considered questionable to play Tuesday against the Timberwolves, Mike Bresnahan of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Analysis:

Bryant only played 23 minutes in Sunday's loss to Hornets, but he continues to be bothered by recurring shoulder soreness, and at this point, he'll likely wind up a game-time call. Coach Byron Scott said Tuesday morning that he believes Bryant has a "50-50" chance to play. If Bryant is held out, expect Anthony Brown to fill his spot in the starting five.
