Bryant plays his farewell game when the Los Angeles Lakers play host to the Utah Jazz (10:30 p.m. ET, ESPN2/WatchESPN). There will be a tribute video shown before the game, and the man who spent his entire NBA career in Los Angeles is expected to address the sold-out Staples Center crowd after the game.
