Bryant was bloodied by a hard foul from Miami's Dwyane Wade and stayed in the game, but he left to be evaluated afterward. A CT scan revealed a broken nose.
He was expected to be examined and re-evaluated by ear, nose and throat specialist Dr. John Rehm on Monday when he returns to Los Angeles.

During the game, Bryant surpassed Michael Jordan as the NBA All-Star Game's greatest scorer, breaking Jordan's record of 262 points on a dunk with 4:57 left in the third quarter. Bryant ended the night with 27 points and now has 271 for his career. He passed Oscar Robertson (246 points) and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (251) earlier in the game.
