Kobe Bryant is out for the season but he hopes to return next season.
"I can’t say this is the end of my era, because I thought (Spurs') was done. They're still there. I’m hoping I can have same rebirth,” said Bryant in an NBATV interview that will air on Feb. 16.
Bryant has had his season end early due to injury in each of the past three years.
Bryant had a 17.4 PER in 35 games in 14-15.
