Injured Los Angeles Lakers superstar Kobe Bryant is progressing well with his rehabilitation from a torn Achilles tendon, although the team has no clue when the all-time leading scorer in franchise history will return to the court.

Lakers spokesman John Black told The Los Angeles Times that the prized shooting guard has "met all the targets and milestones of his rehab." The Lakers official also said that the team is ensuring that their superstar will build up strength and endurance in his Achilles, legs, back, knees and core.

Bryant is expected to miss the eight preseason games of the Lakers that will end on October 25. The Lakers will then open their 2013-14 season against crosstown rivals Clippers four days later. It remains to be seen whether the team will be with their superstar for the said game.

The timetable for Bryant's return was initially at six to nine months. The five-time NBA champion has been active on social media in updating his fans regarding the status of his rehabilitation. One of his most recent updates was a Vine post wherein he was shown jumping 40 feet off a diving board and into a pool. He was also quoted by Slam Online as saying that he has "shattered" the usual timetable for rehabilitating an Achilles tear.

The Lakers need to be cautious on their superstar guard who just turned 35 last month. Bryant averaged 27.3 points, 6 assists and 5.6 rebounds for the Lakers before injuring his Achilles against the Golden State Warriors a few days before the close of the regular season. Without him, the Lakers were swept by the San Antonio Spurs in the first round.
