Kobe Bryant excited nang maglaro uli

LOS ANGELES – Magbabalik si Kobe Bryant  mula sa mahabang injury layoff at nasasabik na muling maglaro.

Ngunit limitadong playing time lamang ang ibibigay kay Bryant ng Lakers at inaasahang ipapahinga kada-dalawang laro para mabuo nito ang full season.

Sinabi ni coach Byron Scott na mu-ling oobserbahan ang laro ni Bryant para sa darating na NBA season.

“I think the biggest decision is playing time, trying to make that as limi-ted as possible and also back-to-back games. That’s something we have to talk about,” wika ni Scott.

Nauna nang sinabi ni Bryant na posibleng ito na ang kanyang maging hu-ling season sa NBA.

“Other than that, there really is no other decision to make. He wants to play and he wants to go out the way he wants to go out — if this is indeed his final year. He and I have talked a number of times on the phone, we’ve talked about playing time, we’ve talked about back-to-back,” ani Scott.

Ito din ang inihayag ng Lakers sa nakaraang season, ngunit nakita lamang ang 37-anyos na si Bryant sa kanilang 35 games.

“We’re going to probably sit down as we get closer to training camp or as we get in training camp and even talk more about it. Because the one thing I want, if this is his last year, I want him to go out standing,” ani Scott.
