Kobe Bryant was on the court for nearly every minute of the seven games he played last April before tearing his Achilles.
He'll be much scarcer when he makes his long-awaited return in the Los Angeles Lakers' game against the Toronto Raptors on Sunday.
"I don't think it's a magical number," Lakers coach Mike D'Antoni said after practice Saturday when asked about a minute range for Bryant. "He's totally well and ready to go. I think he'll be limited by his wind and ability to be able to take the pounding. So, I would be surprised if more than in the twenties. It shouldn't be any more than that."
