Lakers to Revenge On Dwayne Wade?

Kobe Bryant was on the receiving end of a hard foul from Dwayne Wade during the all-star game. Bryant suffered a broken nose and a mild concussion. Could Derek Fisher dish out some punishment like he did against the Rockets' Luis Scola?

Miami Heat guard Dwyane Wade said he sent a message of apology to Kobe Bryant after unintentionally breaking his nose during a hard foul in Sunday's All-Star Game.

"It's all I can do," Wade said of the message to Kobe. "He knows it's no ill intent of me to do that to him. Talk about me for taking the foul, but I never wanted that kind of outcome."

The Los Angeles Lakers announced on its website that Bryant suffered a nasal fracture during the Western Conference's 152-149 win over the East on Sunday night.

Bryant was bloodied by a hard foul and stayed in the game, but he left to be evaluated afterward. A CT scan revealed a broken nose, but no concussion.

Bryant did not attend the team's first practice after the All-Star break on Tuesday and his status for Wednesday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves is "unknown at this time," according to a team spokesman.
