Bryant suffers broken nose

LOS ANGELES - Kobe Bryant moved past Michael Jordan to become the leading NBA All-Star Game scorer but the milestone proved costly as the Los Angeles Lakers superstar suffered a broken nose Sunday.

The 33-year-old American Bryant fractured his nose in the third quarter after being hit in the face by Miami Heat guard Dwayne Wade.

Wade was assessed a foul for reaching in and slapping Bryant on the face and shoulder with just under nine minutes to go in the quarter.
