Andrew Bynum Surgery - Fantasy Impact
Andrew Bynum was originally expected to return to the Los Angeles Lakers this season. However, now not only is Bynum not going to return, it is sounding like he’ll need arthroscopic surgery in three or four weeks.
Bynum has been able to regain most of the movement in his troublesome knee, however he isn’t close to returning to the basketball court. Arthroscopic surgery may be done to go into his knee and see if there could be another problem.
Heading into the 2008-09 fantasy basketball season, it’ll be difficult to figure out Bynum’s value. He could go anywhere from the second round in a fantasy basketball draft, to perhaps the eighth or ninth round. He’ll definitely be high-risk, high-reward next season.
Injury will be the big concern. Not only does he have this injury to worry about, he also suffered a torn ACL while in high school. Mounting injury troubles for a 21-year-old center isn’t what you want on the resume of a high fantasy basketball pick.
In dynasty fantasy basketball leagues, Bynum is still a great player to have on your team. This season, he showed amazing potential before he got hurt. He’s a guy who could be a franchise level bigman in the NBA – and not too far down the road.
