Bryant has knee surgery

Kobe Bryant underwent arthroscopic surgery on his right knee last week, the Lakers announced today. Reporters asked GM Mitch Kupchak about the possibility that Bryant would have surgery earlier today and Kupchak admitted he didn’t know the answer. After investigating, the Lakers learned Bryant did indeed have surgery. It;s the same knee he had drained during the Lakers’ first-round playoff victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder in April. The team said Bryant should be fully recovered by the start of training camp.
