May 7, 2008 The Lakers are reporting injured center Andrew Bynum is considering arthroscopic surgery to alleviate the problems in his left knee, according to the LA Times.
Our View:Bynum's condition has improved since he first suffered the injury, but his progress has been much slower than anticipated. The team suggests Bynum and team officials will track his progress over the next three to four weeks. If the return to health continues to come slowly or stall, the Lakers are likely to recommend the young center go under the knife.
May 6, 2008 Andrew Bynum will go to Princeton, NJ and get a second opinion from Dr. Steven Gecha regarding his left knee, ESPN.com reports. Bynum dislocated his kneecap and suffered a bone bruise on January 13 and has been slow to recover. He has been ruled out of the playoffs.
Our View:The center was in the midst of a breakout season before his serious injury, but his fantasy status is in limbo until he can figure out why his knee is not responding. Bynum also needs to figure out where he'll be next season, as his contract will expire this summer.
May 2, 2008 There are no plans for the injured Lakers center Andrew Bynum to begin practicing any time soon, this according to the LA Times. If the Lakers eventually advance to the NBA Finals, the earliest start date would be June 3.
Our View:Bynum has been out since Jan. 13 because of a bone bruise in his left knee and a subluxation of his left kneecap -- a brief dislocation that popped back into place. Bynum said there was no swelling in the knee, but acknowledged it was painful.
