After being officially listed as questionable for the majority of the day it seems that Lakers guard Kobe Bryant will be ready to play tonight against the Minnesota Timberwolves.
According to Lakers reporter Mike Trudell, Bryant will indeed suit up for the Lakers against the Timberwolves.
Kobe Bryant WILL start tonight. He was cleared to play by neurologist Dr. Williams.

However, Bryant will be required to wear a mask to start the game due to his broken nose.
All of this news of course surprises no one. Bryant will wear a mask to start the game.
