Wayne Ellington confident while filling in for Kobe Bryant

Posted Dec 24, 2014
For Lakers reserve guard Wayne Ellington, starting Tuesday's game in place of a fatigued Kobe Bryant was a welcome lift from the tragedy Ellington endured last month. Ellington's father, Wayne Ellington Sr., 57, was fatally shot in Philadelphia, and his son took an 11-day absence from the team. "The past six months have been a journey for me," Ellington said.
