Kobe Bryant will begin trying to play in every Los Angeles Lakers' home game for the rest of the season, even if it means a limited performance.

Bryant has prioritized road games so far this season to give fans of those cities a final opportunity to see him play.

Bryant is battling a sore shoulder that might force him to sit if it was not his final season.

“At Staples, here, I'm going to have to start ramping it up and get out there and playing,” Bryant said on Time Warner Cable SportsNet, “because it's almost a wrap. But at the same time, I don't want to do something towards the end and have the shoulder pop out again and I'm on the surgery table again or something like that. We don't want that. I just need to be smart, and appreciate the time I have left.”

The Lakers have 14 of 20 remaining games at home as well as a designated road game at Staples against the Clippers.
