The Mamba is back. After another season-ending injury suffered last season, this time to his shoulder, Kobe Bryant has been fully cleared to return to basketball activities. For the NBA, this is a great day. Although this very well may be Bryant’s last season, the league and fans cannot wait to have Bryant back.
Kobe Bryant fully cleared to return to basketball activities
This season is going to be very interesting for Bryant. Obviously, we all know he wants to play at a high level. He is known for playing through injuries, but the past two injuries are far more serious than his previous ones. The Lakers were able to bring in Roy Hibbert, Lou Williams and Brandon Bass via free agency. These are all respected players who will help take the load off of Bryant.
After drafting D’Angelo Russell, the Lakers have started preparing for life after Bryant. The young core of Russell, Jordan Clarkson, and Julius Randle will be ready to take over the spotlight once Bryant retires. Props have to be given to the front office for trying their best to give Bryant one last shot at making the playoffs in what could be his last year. All in all, it will be great to see Bryant back on the court.
Do not be surprised to see Kobe Bryant be more of a distributor this season. Without a doubt, he will be a great mentor to the young players. The young guys enjoy having someone with a work ethic like Bryant to show them what it takes to be successful.
