Another round of Los Angeles Lakers news and rumors have come out as the team gets ready for the upcoming season.
Check out the latest buzz below.
Kobe is Back
One of the top things gleaned from the Lakers first week of training camp and first preseason game is that Kobe Bryant is back.
Bryant is in great shape and looked good against the Denver Nuggets.
“He has been a vocal leader and has also set the tone by running hard and fast during grueling drills. With 18 seasons and countless injuries under his belt, the team’s franchise player seems to be reveling in the physical challenges,” said Bleacher Report.
“Bryant answered all questions early with an all-around game—facilitating, chasing down loose balls and scoring off signature spin moves and fadeaway jumpers. He finished with 13 points and five assists in 21 minutes, shooting an efficient 5-for-12. It’s good to have Kobe back.”
Lakers coach Byron Scott said after the game that Bryant, who played 21 minutes, will play limited minutes in the preseason. “As we get closer to the end of preseason, we'll ratchet it up a little bit,” he said. The Lakers open the regular season on October 28 against the Houston Rockets.
