Fans were delighted to see Kobe Bryant turn the clock back with a vicious dunk over Clint Capela but Lakers coach Byron Scott wasn’t too pleased.
via the Daily Breeze:
“I don’t want him to dunk no more,” Lakers coach Byron Scott, said laughing. “I’ll tell him to save it for Game 82. Then he can dunk again.”
Bryant missed Saturday’s loss to Oklahoma City amid soreness in his right shoulder, two days after throwing down a one-handed dunk over Houston forward Clint Capela. That marked Bryant’s first dunk of for the 2015-16 season and since tearing the rotator cuff in his right shoulder against New Orleans in late January.
“He’s OK,” Scott said following Saturday’s practice at the University of Denver. “No improvement. But no worse than the initial prognosis that it’s soreness.”
Bryant contended on Saturday that he felt soreness in his shoulder before the dunk, though it sounded like Scott hopes his star player exercises more caution.
“When the adrenaline is flowing, it’s real hard to tell a guy ‘Don’t dunk,’” Scott said. “That might have been his last one. But he knows himself more than anybody.”
