Bernstein/Getty)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Kobe Bryant is traveling to Germany to have another round of platelet-rich plasma therapy on his right knee, according to Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;On Thursday the Lakers confirmed Bryant had left the United States for an unnamed destination and an unnamed medical procedure unrelated to his Achilles tendon injury. The team\u00A0expects him to return early next week.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Bryant underwent the procedure in 2011 while recovering from surgery to remove bone fragments from his knee. The therapy involves spinning samples of his own blood to separate the healing platelets, then injecting them back into his knee.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;MAHONEY: Marcin Gortat to spend season on trade block&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Lakers coach Mike D'Antoni said Bryant is showing progress in his rehabilitation.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\"He just keeps progressing,\u201D D\u2019Antoni said Wednesday, according to ESPN Los Angeles. \u201CHe was out today shooting a little bit and jogging.
