Kobe Bryant suffers concussion after hard foul from Dwyane Wade

Kobe Bryant sustained a mild concussion, in addition to a broken nose, after a hard foul by the Miami Heat's Dwyane Wade in the third quarter of Sunday night’s NBA All-Star Game in Orlando.

The broken nose and concussion should not keep Bryant out of any games, as he plans to play Wednesday when the Lakers host the Minnesota Timberwolves, a source told Yahoo. Bryant had a CT scan in Orlando on Sunday night, before flying back to L.A., according to the report.

Bryant finished the All-Star Game with 27 points, breaking Michael Jordan’s record for most points in All-Star Game history in the process. Bryant now has 271 points over his All-Star Game career.

Wade, before knowing of Bryant’s broken nose and concussion, said after the game, “Obviously, I didn’t try to draw blood. Kobe fouled me two times in a row, so he’s still got one up on me. But I am glad that everything was cool and we got back to being competitive and having fun.”

The Lakers and Heat play Sunday in L.A.
