Kobe Bryant has missed more home games than road games during his farewell tour, something that has frustrated many Lakers fans who are paying increasingly large sums to see their hero one more time.

It looks like that will happen again Tuesday when the Lakers host the Sacramento Kings Tuesday night.

Officially, Kobe is a game-time decision due to his sore shoulder. But then this leaked, via Mark Medina of the LA Daily News.

It sounds like the Lakers are giving Kobe the option to change his mind — because he’s Kobe and the Lakers are still his show — but they are planning to take on the struggling Kings without him.

I’d say adjust your fantasy hoops lineups accordingly, but if you have Kobe on your fantasy team this season you have some bigger issues to sort through.
