Kobe Bryant continues to move forward in his rehabilitation from a torn Achilles' tendon, though the Lakers are unwilling to put an updated timetable on his exact return.
"He's progressing well and has met all the targets and milestones of his rehab, and we expect him to make a full recovery," Lakers spokesman John Black told The Times on Monday. "One of the key issues is to make sure he builds up strength and endurance not only in his Achilles but also in his legs, knees, back and core."
Bryant's initial timetable called for at least six to nine months of recovery after he was injured April 12 against Golden State. The more optimistic part would put him in play for two Lakers exhibition games in China next month, though Bryant is expected to miss the Lakers' entire eight-game preseason schedule that ends Oct. 25.
The Lakers begin the regular season Oct. 29 against the Clippers. It is unknown if Bryant will be back in time.
"We're going to avoid giving a target return date until he's doing full weight-bearing running and on-court basketball activities, at the earliest," Black said.
Bryant will be a spectator when the Lakers begin training camp Sept. 28 in El Segundo.
He has no excuse whatsoever to miss important pre-season games. What, did he suffer a potentially career ending injury which would send most players away for close to a year? What a bum.
I agree. Trade his quitting ass right now because he wouldn't play preseason games.
Somebody please tell Kobe last season's 1st round is over
It was just an update on his status, that he wouldn't be ready for the training camp/pre-season.
What are we putting the O/U for games played for Bryant this year? 40?
No excuses, Kobe is quitting on his team.
But but,preseason games and training camp are meaningless

lol
ing got kobe quitting on us. Especially after last years pre season disaster.
Honest estimate, around 65 to 70.
Nope, they are absolutely vital. Almost as vital as his off-court legal troubles which happened almost ten years ago. This will all reflect in the boxscore.

yeah your preseason was ty last year. problem is you never flipped the reg season switch. used to be the busted playoff switch, but this is how far the Lakers have fallen
sure yeah, thank god its still 5>4![]()
I really wish Timmy could have coattailed for 3 more...
your right, because its obvious he cant get it done when counted on...
Training camp is definitely vital.
Can't get in the playoffs if you miss training camp.
can't get it done, and didn't get it done are 2 different animals. but if he was able to play second fiddle on some championship teams, that would be nice. too bad 37 year old was still the alpha when push came to shove. I guess not everybody can have the luxury kobe has. coattail for a few, yell for trade/help and get gifted another dominant big. imagine if the spurs acquired Pau in 08

there is nothing alpha about duncan, last time kobe was in the finals, he rang... last time duncan was in the finals he choked. Duncan isnt duncan without TP, and Manure doing all the hard work.
You know how rational NBA fans hate it when Kobe-fan throws out woulda coulda crap to try to put Kobe above MJ? Ah nevermind...
