Los Angeles Lakers star Kobe Bryant has revealed that he has returned to the court for shooting practice for the first time since undergoing shoulder surgery.
The 36-year-old had an operation to repair his rotator cuff in January, which ruled him out for the second half of the 2014-15 season.
However, he has now stepped up his recovery ahead of the 2015-16 season, which he conceded could be his last in his career.
Bryant has been named an NBA All-Star 17 times in his career.
