In the present paper not only we improve his bound for non-abelian $p$-groups but also we describe the structure of all non-abelian $p$-groups when the bound is attained for a special case. Moreover, our results give as well an upper bound for the order of $\pi_3(SK(G, 1))$. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/1012.3738v2
