Jun 8: Bryant (Achilles) intimated Friday that he intends to play beyond his current contract, which expires after the 2013-14 season, the Los Angeles Times reports. Bryant suffered a season-ending Achilles tear, requiring surgery on April 13, with a projected recovery of 6-to-9 months. However, he has declared his desire to be ready by Opening Night in the fall, a timetable that will be difficult to follow. Considering the aforementioned goal, it may be wise for Bryant to take his time to ensure he's as close as possible to his stellar self for the final few years of his career.
