Kobe receives day of treatment

Kobe Bryant got several hours of treatment on his sprained left ankle Thursday in hopes of staying on the court to continue the Los Angeles Lakers’ playoff push.

The fifth-leading scorer in NBA history was hurt when he landed on the foot of Atlanta’s Dahntay Jones with 3 seconds left in the Lakers’ 96-92 loss to the Hawks on Wednesday night. Bryant rolled on the ground and left the court in anger and pain, later calling it the worst sprained ankle of his 17 NBA seasons.

Bryant tweeted Thursday that his ankle was “still very swollen. Treatment all day.” The Lakers had the day off Thursday in Indianapolis, the final stop on their three-game road trip.
