Los Angeles Lakers star Kobe Bryant is expected to be in the starting lineup Wednesday when his team opens its regular season against the Minnesota Timberwolves at Staples Center. The game will kick off Bryant’s NBA-record 20th season in purple and gold.

At tipoff, Bryant will set a league record for most seasons played with one franchise, surpassing John Stockton, who played for the Utah Jazz from the 1984-85 season until his retirement after 2002-03.
