Los Angeles Lakers head coach Byron Scott insisted that Kobe Bryant's role on the team wouldn't change despite his tough start to the season that included a 1-of-14 performance from the field against the Golden State Warriors on Tuesday.
"I haven't thought about reducing his role," Scott said Wednesday, per Baxter Holmes of ESPN.com. "I think his role is pretty defined for us right now. So is his minutes."
Bryant, 37, is averaging 15.2 points, 4.3 rebounds and 3.5 assists in 30.5 minutes per game, though he is shooting a career-worst 31.
