Kobe Bryant is now running at full speed, but he has yet to make enough progress to make lateral cuts.

Bryant tore his Achilles last April.

"I don't have a timetable; let's start there," Bryant said. "I've been pushing pretty hard, man. I'll go and do some more conditioning after I get done talking to you guys.

"The hardest thing is the conditioning and getting back and playing at a high level and being able to run and play at a high level for 48 minutes. (It) is tough, man. You really have to push yourself conditioning wise to get in shape ... get down to feeling really comfortable, feeling strong, working through the fatigue first of running straight forward. Once the endurance is there you start doing more lateral things."
