The LA Times is confirming that Kobe Bryant will play in the all-star game. Speculation rose that Kobe would sit out when he opted out of the 3 point shooting contest. The hope locally was if Kobe was out Deron Williams would get his slot. That is no longer an option.

League policy is if Kobe sits out the all-star game he would have to sit out the first game back. That is not going to happen considering the Lakers play the Suns and Shaq.

4 MINS!
Oh come on!
Deron Williams could have played!
But he had to. Or else he couldn’t come back and play the game against Suns.
Oh well that’s what he does. It’s ok then.
