Analysis:

Bryant's surgery comes with an expected recovery timetable of approximately nine months, and he underwent the procedure almost exactly nine months before the start of the 2015-16 season. Nonetheless, the 36-year-old Bryant plans to be ready for the start of training camp in late September. For now, he can be considered questionable for the Lakers' first game of 2015-16.
