An elbow thrown at the Sixers’ Kyle Korver by the Lakers’ Kobe Bryant in the final moments of the first half of Friday night’s game is “being looked at” by league officials, an NBA source indicated.
Bryant was coming off a one-game suspension for a blow to the face of Minnesota guard Marko Jaric and had served an earlier one-game suspension for a similar incident with San Antonio guard Manu Ginobli.
In an Associated Press report from Indianapolis Saturday night, Korver said, “I didn’t think it was that big a deal. I thought it was an offensive foul. After I saw it on replay, it looked a lot worse than I thought it was during the game. It all happens fast. It’s no big deal. It’s just part of the game.”
