Lakers' Kobe Bryant 'itching' to get back on court

One of the questions for the Los Angeles Lakers heading into training camp later this month is the status of Kobe Bryant’s right knee. Bryant had arthroscopic surgery in July, and he was expected to be fully recovered by the time camp opened.

So far, his rehab appears to be on track, according to teammate Luke Walton.

“I’ve seen Kobe at the gym the last couple weeks rehabbing his knee,” Walton told Lakers.com. “He’s itching to get back on the court. He shows up every morning at 7 a.m. at the team’s facility and is kind of wrapping up around the time I get there at around 9 a.m. Kobe looks great—he says his knee feels great. He’s just about to start doing basketball workouts again and can’t wait for it.”

Bryant’s knee was drained early in the playoffs, but the Lakers went on to win a second consecutive NBA title.
