Kobe Bryant is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Pacers due to right shoulder soreness

Bryant is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Pacers due to right shoulder soreness, Mark Medina of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.

Analysis:

It looks like the shoulder is going to be an ongoing problem for Bryant for the remainder of the season, but the veteran is expected to play through any lingering soreness more often than not. Even so, it wouldn't be surprising if he was rested at some point in the near future, as he's now played in four consecutive games. While he's turned in his best stretch of play of the season in that span with averages of 28.3 points (on 40.7% shooting), 6.5 rebounds, 4.8 three-pointers, 3.5 assists, and 1.5 steals over 30.3 minutes, that mounting workload probably isn't sustainable the rest of the way without periodic rest being implemented.
