Los Angeles Lakers' Kobe Bryant not concerned by shoulder injury

Kobe Bryant is not overly worried about a shoulder injury sustained in the Los Angeles Lakers 96-80 defeat at the New Orleans Pelicans.

Bryant picked up the injury to his right shoulder during the game on Wednesday, and head coach Byron Scott said the shooting guard would be sent for a scan.

"He's being examined by the doctors right now. It's a sore right shoulder. He'll have an MRI tomorrow," Scott said.

"I felt fine when I went up, didn't feel so good when I came down," Bryant added.

"I've played with a torn labrum, so I'm not too concerned.

"I'll do some stretching, have an ice bath tonight when we get to San Antonio, and do my strength training in the morning. Just go about my normal routine."
