Bulls' Hamilton Out For Few Weeks; Kobe Reaches Milestone

>>Bulls Hamilton Out Two Weeks Chicago Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau says veteran guard Richard Hamilton could miss two weeks because of a foot injury. Hamilton sustained a left plantar fascia tear in Saturday's game against Philadelphia and didn't play in Tuesday's loss to Indiana. Thibodeau said before Wednesday night's game against Cleveland that Hamilton, who is averaging 13.9 points, will probably miss a week or two. The Bulls have played the entire season without point guard Derrick Rose, who underwent reconstructive surgery on his left knee during last season's playoffs. Thibodeau has given no timetable on when the former MVP will return. >>Kobe Reaches 30,000 Career Points In Lakers Win (New Orleans, LA) -- Kobe Bryant scored 29 points to surpass 30,000 career points in the Lakers' 103-87 win over the Hornets in New Orleans. The 34-year-old Bryant becomes the youngest player to reach the milestone and fifth overall in NBA history, joining Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Karl Malone, Michael Jordan and Wilt Chamberlain. He currently ranks fifth in NBA history with 30,016 career points. Abdul-Jabbar holds the record with 38,387 points. Metta World Peace added 11 points and nine rebounds in the contest to become the sixth player in NBA history to record 12,000 points, 4,000 rebounds, 1,000 three-pointers and 1,500 steals in a career.
