Sources: Kidd, Lee to play in Dallas

By Marc Stein

ESPN.com

DALLAS -- The ankle injury that has sidelined Los Angeles Lakers star Kobe Bryant for the last three games will knock him out of Sunday's All-Star Game as well.

The NBA has lined up Jason Kidd of the hometown Dallas Mavericks to replace the ailing Bryant, sources told ESPN.com.

ESPN.com has also learned Allen Iverson won't participate (personal matters) and will be replaced by New York's David Lee.

Bryant has played through back, finger and groin ailment this season but has not been able to shake an ankle problem that forced him to miss a game through injury for the first time since late in the 2005-06 season.

Marc Stein is a senior NBA writer for ESPN.com.

Good to see David Lee finally get up in there. He's having an all star type campaign this season and didnt deserve to be snubbed.

Glad Kobe is going to rest for the second half. Amazing though without Bynum and Kobe the Lakers have dominated the last 3 games. Go figure.

2 words. Pau Gasol. Check his stats in them 3 games and yall's record since he came to Hollywood. Even without Kobe, the Lakers would still be a playoff team. Thats why I say King is the MVP of the league, Cleveland would be a lottery team without him.

Lamar Odom and Shannon brown are also playing lights out.

And I don't care about MVP trophies......;)

    • Of course it's a crapshoot to find a truly elite QB. But we don't even need that to be competitive or successful. Our two best long term starters in 3 decades of existence were both flawed yet productive passers and each led us to a Super Bowl. Hell Jake Delhomme in the year where his arm went off a cliff and we had to start Matt Moore for a couple spells we had a superior passing offense than anything we've seen under Bryce Young the last 3 years. We're still trying to crack the top 25. All I'm saying is this is not the 2023 Panthers by any means. The cupboards are not bare. We are not working with scraps. We have invested through the nose to build up the roster and the trenches on both sides of the ball. We've also added multiple first and second day pass catchers in the draft. If a QB can't succeed here they are cooked.
    • That last line is the key. Passing game lives or dies off the running game. I struggle to see any help the passing has provided in return - there is no pass to op n up the run to speak of.  Add in that we have downgraded the run blocking at left tackle according to analysts,and I really don’t know what to expect from C….  It puts more load on th passing game to help out
