After much discussion of Kobe Bryant's fatigue level in the aftermath of arguably his worst game of the season, Byron Scott announced that Bryant would sit out vs. the Warriors to rest. From Kevin Ding of Bleacher Report:

For those wondering if Kobe agreed with this decision, Baxter Holmes of ESPN tweeted this:
