Kobe just hit a turnaround over Nick Young near the top of the key. It's a halfcourt drill with contact.

relax

you don't have a personal relationship with kobe and you damn sure don't work for the lakers training staff. Stop being so confident in your opinions

It just makes too much sense. Friday night on national TV against the team he got injured AT HOME. When Kobe told Rick Fox there was a game he was gunning to return for, this would be the one.

I know it isn't a guarantee but you have to admit that him practicing at full speed makes it a realistic possibility.

I hope he returns. It would be crazy dramatic.

@LakersReporter
Mike D’Antoni is still urging caution - he said he’d he “surprised” if @kobebryant plays in the next game (on Friday vs GSW).

yeah of course I'm not throwing out of the equation bc idk how kobe feels, I'm just saying there were reports like a week ago that said kobe wasn't even close to being in shape to play, now all of a sudden in a week he's ready to go?

if he's ready he's ready though

@DuranSports
D'Antoni said Kobe ran full court as well as half

@DuranSports
D'Antoni asked who will make final call when Kobe plays answered "Do you know Kobe?"

@LakersReporter
Bryant can obviously adjust his game around what he can specifically do today, but wants to keep gaining strength overall.

‏@Lakers
Still can’t put a time frame on a return: “It’s tough to say. Monitor how it goes today & see if I can come back & go full bore tomorrow.”

@LakersReporter
The next step for Bryant: simply seeing how he feels tomorrow after his most extensive practice thus far. He’ll do plenty of work tonight.

@LakersReporter
Kobe said he won’t have a plan about how to play between scoring/facilitating when he returns: “That’s predicated on the defense.”

@LakersReporter
Kobe: “My job is to make the game easier for my teammates” by drawing attention and double teams.
