Scott unsure if Kobe will play vs. Warriors after leaving Tuesday's game

The Los Angeles Lakers played the majority of Tuesday's 95-91 win against the New Orleans Pelicans without Kobe Bryant.

Bryant called it a night midway through the second quarter as he continues to battle a sore Achilles that sidelined him for the Lakers' last game against the Utah Jazz.

Following the game, coach Byron Scott said he wasn't sure whether Kobe would play against the Golden State Warriors on Thursday, according to Mark Medina of the L.A. Daily News.

Now in his 20th season, the 37-year-old Bryant has been in and out of the lineup. He's missed eight games this season due to shoulder, leg, and back issues, in addition to his current Achilles strain.

Bryant is averaging 17.6 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 3.5 assists on 35 percent shooting from the floor in his prolonged farewell tour.
