Earlier concerns are no longer an issue for the Los Angeles Lakers as they prepare to host the visiting Indiana Pacers to the Staples Center Tuesday at 10:30 pm ET.

There were worries that superstar guard Kobe Bryant would miss out today's matchup as a result of flu-like symptoms, that caused him to miss the morning shootaround. Bryant posted on his Facebook page about being "under the weather" and said he was dealing with aches and chills as best as he could with rest and medicine.

Head coach Mike D'Antoni confirmed that the Lakers' shooting guard would be available in today's game.

Bryant is averaging 26.9 points while shooting 51.0 percent from the field this year. His highest field goal percentage in a season is 46.9 in 2001-02.

The Pacers, though, are coming off a 104-97 loss to San Antonio on Friday after a 115-107 overtime win over New Orleans two days earlier. David West scored a team-high 22 points for Indiana, which is in the midst of playing 12 of its first 18 on the road.

Indiana beat Los Angeles 98-96 in the most recent meeting Jan. 22 despite 33 points from Bryant, who is averaging 35.0 points in his last three versus the Pacers.
