EL SEGUNDO, Calif. (AP) - Los Angeles Lakers guard Kobe Bryant sat out practice Wednesday but said he was feeling better after suffering a hyperextended right knee in Tuesday's preseason game against Charlotte. Bryant didn't have to undergo an MRI, saying there was no swelling a day after the injury. He said he hopes to play in Friday night's game against the Bobcats.
