Sunday's All Star game might be missing one of it's biggest superstars.

Kobe Bryant missed his 2nd consecutive game Monday night against the San Antonio Spurs.  Bryant’s consecutive streak of 235 games was broke Saturday against the Portland Trailblazers, due to a sore left ankle.  Bryant said he can’t push off of his left foot.  “I can’t move to play.  Can’t go.” Bryant said.  Adding, “If I’m ready to go, I’ll play, it’s as simple as that.”  Lakers trainer Gary Vitti said he wants Bryant to sit the rest of the week.  Hearing Vitti’s request, Kobe laughed saying, “Of course he would.”  Bryant will be a game time decision for Wednesday’s game against the Utah Jazz.  He also is questionable for Sunday’s All-Star game, being held in Dallas, Texas.  When asked about playing in the All Star game, Bryant said, “If the All Star game was today I couldn’t play.”  Also adding with a laugh, he said, “I don’t know what it’s going to look like on Sunday, I’m not clairvoyant.”  The Lakers and Kobe are trying to do everything they can to get him back on the court, but will it be enough for the Black Mamba to return for Sundays All Star game?
