Salt Lake City, UT (Sports Network) - Los Angeles Lakers All-Star guard Kobe Bryant will be a game-time decision for Wednesday's contest in Utah.
Bryant has missed the last two games, including Monday's 101-89 win against San Antonio due to a sprained left ankle. He was also absent on Saturday when the Lakers won in Portland, 99-82.
Bryant, who is averaging 28 points, 5.3 rebounds and 4.6 assists this season, had played in 235 straight games before sitting Saturday. Last week, he became the Lakers' all-time leading scorer, passing Jerry West. Bryant (25,246) is now 33 points shy of Reggie Miller (25,279) for 13th on the NBA's all-time scoring list.
The Lakers also missed center Andrew Bynum from Monday's game. He was sidelined with a bruised right hip. Bynum is expected to sit out Wednesday's game.
Additionally, Lamar Odom missed practice Tuesday to have an MRI/CAT scan on his sore left foot. Both exams were negative, and Odom is probable for Wednesday.
