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......;)

    • I've watched and listened to several evaluations from the good ole youtubers.  From what I was able to watch, the first few drives before I left to do a job to the end of the game were very different for Bryce.  So he had a "good" game.  Which is great.  I love a win, period.  His WRs had some drops, thing ripped away, etc.  Not great, but a W is a W, right? I think the Panthers have to start Bryce.  You have to see if he continues to build on the good plays and make fewer and fewer bad plays.  No QB is going to play a perfect game.  But we need to continue to see Bryce make plays.  Does he have the ability to will his team to victory?  I'm not sure. I'm still in the Bryce is a backup QB camp.  I'm glad he had a good game, I glad we won, but I need to see more before we make a decision to keep or trade him.  Playing Andy literally does NOTHING to help you for the future.  Andy may not even resign with the Panthers.  We could be out both starting QBs by the time FA/Draft season hits. Ultimately, this is a Dan Morgan and Dave Canales issue.  Can they get value out of Bryce to help them improve the total roster?  Is there a FA QB who would be an upgrade?  A surprise cut or post season trade?  Or is there a QB at the top of the draft who they think they can mold into a high level starting QB?  I don't know. I do know I want to see more of Bryce Young and more out of him on the field.  I want to see the fire, the competitor come out.  I want him getting pissed.  I want him to grab his beanbag and tell us all he's the f'ing dude.  I just don't think we'll see that out of Bryce.  If not the fire, then let me see the ice - let me see the rattle proof dude who kills with accuracy and playmaking no matter how hot and crazy it gets.
    • Ickey at LT and Brady as Center / Swing position player is more valuable to our team IMO
    • That's fair but signing a veteran like Justin Fields to a one year deal and drafting defense with our first is always an option two.  I personally don't think these QBs this year are top 10 worthy selections
