Kobe Bryant (Achilles) will not play in the season opener according to coach Mike D'Antoni.
"No," D'Antoni said . "My God, I know he's Superman, but my God. He hasn't run yet." He added that Kobe was still ahead of schedule, but it's officially time to scale back expectations about his return date. Kobe told reporters about a month ago that he would need three weeks of "rigorous conditioning" after practicing before he would play in a game. His basketball activities have been limited to mostly set shooting and he has "not come close to practicing" according to beat writer Dave McMenamin.
