Kobe Bryant said Thursday his troublesome right knee is “95 percent better” after the innovative procedure he underwent in the offseason.

“As close to 100 percent as it’s going to get,” Bryant said.

Bryant was approached about the molecular scientist Peter Wehling’s procedure, which involves injecting the patient’s own blood as a serum into the problem area, by baseball star Alex Rodriguez.

“I gave him the phone number,” said Bryant, who added that his message to Rodriguez was: “It made a huge difference for me.”
