NBA
---Los Angeles Lakers star Kobe Bryant did not inform coach Mike D'Antoni that he left for Germany to have a medical procedure, according to the New York Daily News.
The team announced last week that Bryant left the country to have an unspecified medical procedure not related to his torn Achilles tendon.
Bryant reportedly only told longtime team trainer Gary Vitti that he was going to Germany for a second round of "Orthokine" for his right knee.
