Kobe Bryant has been cleared to resume running and shooting and will begin an intense, six-month training program next week upon his return from a short family trip to Europe, sources with knowledge of the situation told ESPN.
Bryant has been ramping up his activity level in recent weeks as he continues to recover from a fracture in his left knee suffered during the Lakers' victory Dec. 17 at Memphis, just six games into his return from a ruptured Achilles.
While he is in Europe, Bryant will visit the clinic in Germany where he had the platelet-rich plasma treatment known as Orthokineon on his knee, according to a source.
Bryant is due back in Los Angeles this weekend and will begin intense training designed to have him fully recovered by the start of training camp in October, according to sources.

People continue to doubt and knock you Bean. Just use it to as poster board material to inspire you to do the unthinkable like you've always done. Right before the injury he started to show signs of shaking off the rust a bit there. The 2015 season cant get here fast enough, but at the very least this offseason should be interesting.
You think it was D'Antoni's choice for Kobe to play heavy minutes? MDA had no say in the matter. Kobe decided on his own when he'd enter a game, sit on the bench, etc.
.... Gotta shoot back at Celtics fans taking shots at our Lakers
