Kobe Bryant, meeting with reporters Thursday for the first time since the Los Angeles Lakers returned from their preseason trip to China last week, remained mum on his return to the court with the team's regular season set to tip off Tuesday against the Los Angeles Clippers.

"I was cranking it up the entire time I was in China," said Bryant, wearing a pressurized ice wrap on his surgically repaired left Achilles. "I've scaled back since, just to let it heal up a little bit more and get a little bit more flexibility to it. But it feels good just to run and break a sweat by running."

He is going to be a stiff. Literally. Note that this injury effects both explosiveness and lateral quickness.

Bet it doesn't hamper his passing ability.

Bet it doesn't hamper his passing ability. Bryant will fine a way to justify shooting even more 2-foot fadaways. This guy has always been overdone, but at least now he's done-done.

^ If he is indeed done, well, I'm glad he's sitting at 5.

And 6 up the rear.
