Kobe Bryant "few weeks away" from return

Los Angeles Lakers star Kobe Bryant is still 'a few weeks away' from returning from injury.

Los Angeles Lakers star Kobe Bryant is still 'a few weeks away' from being 100%, which suggests he will miss training camp.

The 35-year-old has continued his rehabilitation from a ruptured Achilles tendon over the summer, and despite early encouraging signs he is doubtful to be fit in time for opening night in late October.

"He's doing well and has had no setbacks," Lakers athletic trainer Gary Vitti said, according to Los Angeles Daily News.

"There's no projected date. He'll be ready when he's ready. Nobody has a crystal ball on this thing."

Bryant will hope to start full-weight running drills before he can then advance to on-court basketball activities.
