Kobe Bryant: ‘My workload has been really light’

But on Friday, the ninth game of (Kobe) Bryant’s 20th season, Coach Byron Scott seemed to go off script by playing Bryant a season-high 37 minutes. Scott argued that Bryant’s 31.1 minutes per game were the more important numbers, while others wondered if the greater risk wasn’t in the high toll on a given night.

Bryant for his part, doesn’t see what all the fuss is about.

“My workload has been really light,” he said prior to Saturday’s practice.
