Los Angeles Lakers’ star Kobe Bryant was back in Germany this week to have his knees examined by the surgeon who performed a platelet-rich plasma treatment known as Orthokine on his right knee.

Since having the procedure in October, Bryant has said his degenerative knee condition has not bothered him as much as it had in the past.

Probasketballtalk.com said Bryant is undergoing another round of Orthokine while visiting Hans-Wilhelm Müller-Wohlfahrt.

Bryant has the procedure in Germany because it has yet to be approved by the FDA in the United States.
