Kobe Bryant Says He’d "Probably" Play Today if It was Playoffs (@kobebryant)

The Lakers are currently in China, and Kobe Bryant is still recovering from a torn Achilles tendon.  He’s been making progress towards a full recovery, and he recently spoke to Bleacher Report about his recovery status thus far.  While Kobe may not be physically ready at the moment, his heart is certainly still attached to the game, and he stated that if it was the playoffs or NBA Finals, he’d be down to step onto the floor.

“Ff today was a playoff or NBA Finals [game], could I play? Probably.  I feel pretty damn good, so I’m going to get out today and try to move around on the court.”
