The jersey worn by Kobe Bryant in his final regular season home opener sold at auction Tuesday night for $22,020.
NBA Auctions and its partner, MeiGray, sold the jersey as part of an ongoing series of auctions featuring jerseys worn on opening night throughout the NBA.
The three-week long sale for Bryant’s gold and purple Lakers shirt concluded with 32 bids.
Bryant wore the jersey during the Lakers’ 112-111 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves on October 28 at Staples Center in Los Angeles. 
He played 28 minutes and scored 24 points with an assist, four rebounds and two steals.
Bryant announced earlier this season that the 2015-16 campaign would be his last. A 17-time All-Star, he began his NBA career in 1996 as an 18-year-old rookie.
After a slow start, Bryant is averaging 20.6 points over his last seven games.
Last month, the jersey worn by Steph Curry on opening night, one which bore the special NBA Finals trophy patch on the front, sold for $20,020.
