A few offseasons ago, he traveled to Germany and underwent Regenokine treatment on his knees more than once, according to Jonah Lehrer, who discussed the treatment in great detail for Grantland.
Bryant tore his Achilles and underwent surgery to repair it on April 13. He made his first visible return to the court Wednesday to shoot and jog on the court before leaving the Lakers’ training camp. A return date has yet to be announced for the Lakers guard, but Bryant has maintained he’s well ahead of schedule in recovering from his Achilles tear.
