However, there was big news to come out of Bryant’s camp on Wednesday as well.
According to Ramona Shelburne of ESPN Los Angeles, Bryant has been cleared to resume shooting and running and will visit the same clinic in Germany.
"Bryant has been ramping up his activity level in recent weeks as he continues to recover from a fracture in his left knee suffered during the Lakers’ victory Dec. 17 at Memphis, just six games into his return from a ruptured Achilles.While he is in Europe, Bryant will visit the clinic in Germany where he had the platelet-rich plasma treatment known as Orthokineon on his knee, according to a source.The visit to the clinic is a check-up to ensure all is structurally sound with his knee before he resumes intense training."
Bryant averaged 13.8 points, 6.3 assists, 4.3 rebounds and 1.2 steals in 29.5 minutes per game in six games for the Lakers this season.
