Team spokesman John Black said there is no timetable for the 61-year-old coach's return to training camp, which opened Tuesday with assistant coach Kurt Rambis running the drills.

The 45-minute operation was performed at the Centinela Hospital Medical Center. Jackson, who will be re-evaluated next week, said Monday at the team's media day that he plans to be ready when the Lakers open the season Oct. 31 against Phoenix.

``I heard everything went well for him,'' said Lakers star Kobe Bryant, who is recovering from offseason surgery on his right knee and watched Tuesday's practice from the sideline. ``Hopefully we'll have him back sooner rather than later.''
