Kobe Bryant sitting out Atlanta Hawks game with sore shoulder

Kobe Bryant will sit out the Lakers' home game against the Hawks Friday night with a sore right shoulder, Mike Trudell reported. 

It is the same nagging injury that kept the 37-year-old All-Star out of the second half of Wednesday night's 117-107 loss against the Denver Nuggets. 

Second-year guard Jordan Clarkson was also questionable after suffering a third-quarter knee injury during the same game.
