Los Angeles Lakers guard Kobe Bryant could be facing at least another fortnight on the sidelines with his knee fracture.

The 35-year-old suffered a fractured lateral tibial plateau last month, and the Lakers have struggled in his absence.

He is still feeling discomfort and will likely miss the next two weeks or perhaps even a month, according to Bleacher Report.

Bryant was selected as a starter for the All-Star Western Conference team, but has since insisted that he would prefer to sit out, although the latest update would rule him out anyway.
