Lakers’ Bryant returns in win over Jazz

Bryant, who had missed the previous six contests with a sprained right shoulder, scored 21 points and handed out six assists in his return and helped the Lakers end a nine-game road losing streak.

He suffered the injury in a game versus Cleveland on January 12 at the Staples Center.

Bryant spent Friday in Colorado at a court hearing for his pending sexual assault trial.

Fox, who had been on the injured list since opening day, did not see action against the Jazz. The forward has been recovering from surgery to his torn tendon in his left foot. The injury occurred in the first round of last season’s playoffs.
