Lakers Injury Updates: Kobe Bryant will not play against Golden State Warriors on Saturday, Marcelo Huertas listed as probable

Kobe Bryant suffered what the the Los Angeles Lakers training staff originally diagnosed as a "left leg contusion" in the third quarter of the team's preseason game against the Sacramento Kings in Las Vegas on Tuesday. After the game, head coach Byron Scott said that he expected Bryant would be available to play against the Golden State Warriors in the Lakers' exhibition on Saturday. But now after not practicing on Thursday or Friday, the Lakers announced Bryant would not suit up for the team's annual exhibition in San Diego.
