Byron Scott Eyeing Plan to Limit Kobe’s Workload

Byron Scott knows that Kobe Bryant can’t play as many minutes as he’s been playing and that Bryant can’t handle the offensive workload he’s been trying to handle.

“You know him,” Scott said after practice at the Lakers’ facility on Monday, which Bryant sat out to rest. “It’s real difficult. He’s such a competitor. He wants to go out there and play every minute that he can. The mind is willing, but sometimes the body is not.”

“We’ll formulate a plan that suits him so when he is on the court, he can go out and play at full strength instead of trying to will his way through these games,” Scott said.
