Kobe sprains ankle in Lakers loss to Hawks

kobe-down-hawks-espn.jpgKobe Bryant was listed as out indefinitely after turning his ankle on the last shot of Wednesday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. X-rays were negative but ESPN LA called Bryant's injury a severe sprain. His left foot apparently landed on the foot of the Hawks' Dahntay Jones at the end of the Lakers' 96-92 loss in Atlanta. Bryant left the arena limping but without crutches.
