Kobe Bryant has ruled out the possibility of making his season debut for the Los Angeles Lakers this coming Sunday against the Sacramento Kings at Staples Center, according to sources.

The Lakers then travel for road games at the Washington Wizards, Brooklyn Nets and Detroit Pistons.

"You've got to be honest with yourself, and if you have those limitations, then you've got to figure out a way to be effective around those," Bryant told reporters at the Lakers practice facility Tuesday. "You can't be stubborn about that. If there are certain things that I used to do that I can't do now, I won't try to do them. I've got to figure out another way."
