Kobe Bryant will make his long-awaited return from a torn left Achilles tendon when the Los Angeles Lakers host the Toronto Raptors on Sunday night.
In a dramatic video posted on his Facebook page before the Lakers played at Sacramento on Friday night, Bryant set his much-anticipated comeback date.
The video, which was also uploaded to the team's Facebook page, was titled: ''Seasons of Legend. Lakers announce Kobe's return.''
Lakers coach Mike D'Antoni said Bryant will likely be eased back into the lineup, though he declined to discuss how many minutes he will play in his first game.
