Miami Heat guard Dwyane Wade made no attempt to apologise to Kobe Bryant after leaving the NBA superstar with a broken nose.

Los Angeles Laker Bryant moved past Michael Jordan to become the all-time leading NBA All-Star game scorer on Sunday, but the milestone proved costly.

The 33-year-old Bryant fractured his nose in the third quarter after being hit in the face by Wade, the Lakers confirmed on Monday.

“An initial CT scan revealed a nasal fracture and he will be re-evaluated on Tuesday,” Lakers spokesman John Black said on Monday.

The Lakers said they would not know until doctors examined the break on Tuesday whether the four-time All-Star game MVP Bryant would be able to play in the Lakers’ next game on Wednesday against Minnesota.

The Lakers host Miami on Sunday and the clash could be full of feeling if Bryant is passed fit.

“I obviously didn’t try to draw no blood, but I took a foul,” Wade said on Monday.

“Kobe fouled me two times in a row, so he’s still got one up on me.”

Wade did the damage and was assessed a foul for reaching in and striking Bryant with just under nine minutes to go in the third quarter.

A bloodied Bryant stepped up to the free-throw line and sank both shots.

He remained in the game, playing eight minutes in the fourth quarter and helping the West hold off a late charge by East.

Bryant finished with 27 points and had 271 career All-Star game points by the end of the 61st NBA All-Star game which was won by the Western Conference 152-149.

About four minutes after the Wade elbow, Bryant surpassed Jordan’s previous record of 262 points when he took a pass from Kevin Durant for a dunk in the third quarter.

The injury comes a week after Bryant blasted the Lakers’ management in an expletive-laden outburst as he described his frustration with the way the NBA club was handling the Pau Gasol trade rumours.
