Lakers look fatigued heading into All-Star break Reporting from Oklahoma City - Another question rocketed to the top of an ever-shaky season for the Lakers. Is Kobe Bryant fatigued? He is averaging 38.2 minutes a game, third-highest in the NBA, and it might have caught up to him the last two games. He made only seven of 24 shots Thursday in the Lakers' 100-85 loss to Oklahoma City. He made only five of 15 the previous night in a 96-91 victory over Dallas. Bryant trails only Minnesota forward Kevin Love (39.9 minutes a game) and Orlando center Dwight Howard (38.3 minutes). "We all looked a little fatigued in the second half [Thursday], not just Kobe," Lakers Coach Mike Brown said. Bryant said he didn't feel tired. "Maybe some guys did," he said. I felt fine. Bad omen: The Lakers are 20-14 and debating whether they're already fatigued at the All-Star break. Andrew Bynum wasn't even looking forward to his first All-Star game. "No, not really," he said. I'm just looking forward to the rest. Bynum will miss practice Saturday for the Western Conference All-Stars because of a previously scheduled appointment with his longtime knee specialist, David Altchek. Bynum will receive a "Synvisc" injection in his right knee, part of what the Lakers called a routine procedure to lubricate joints in the knee. A website for Synvisc said an injection typically cushioned a joint and provided up to six months of osteoarthritis relief. The All-Star game is Sunday in Orlando, Fla. Bryant will also be there too, for the 14th time. At least one Lakers player didn't seem to have a problem with logging 38 minutes against Oklahoma City. Pau Gasol had 22 points on nine-for-14 shooting. He also had nine rebounds, though he committed four turnovers. "I didn't feel more fatigued than any other night," he said. I was ready to go, ready to be aggressive and ready to play well. They got it After further review, the NBA assessed Dallas center Brendan Haywood a flagrant two foul after he clocked Gasol in the final minute of Wednesday's game. The decision meant that "unnecessary and excessive contact" took place, though it did not carry a suspension. "From my definition of a flagrant...I think the refs missed that," Brown said. I don't know how anybody could think [Haywood] was going for the ball. I think he was trying to foul Pau. He might be able to join Shaq in the WWF '[Royal] Rumble 25' or something like that.
