The Lakers got some good news over the weekend: Kobe Bryant has been fully medically cleared to resume all basketball activities.As reported by Bleacher Report's Kevin Ding, Bryant has no restrictions on his continued progress in his rehabilitation from the torn left Achilles tendon suffered seven months ago.Bryant made his much-anticipated return to practice on Saturday, where he went through 5-on-0 drills and did some half court drills with his teammates."He looked real good," said Jordan Hill of Bryant at practice after his own career-high game against Detroit. "He was going real hard. I thought he wasn't going to be able to go that hard but he was really pushing it. And, I know he's not ready yet but he's coming along and he should be ready pretty soon."
The Lakers do not play again until Friday against the Golden State Warriors at Staples Center, no word on whether he will play in that game but he will be back very soon. The Lakers are 5-7 currently and could definitely use his 25+ points per game and coming up big down the stretch in the 4th quarter as they have struggled so far in the final quarters of games. His return also further bolsters the bench which is already averaging the most PPG, as Jodie Meeks would most likely come off the bench and he is averaging a team best 13.7 PPG so far!
