Andrew Bynum Update - Injury Status
While there have been reports that Andrew Bynum could be out for the season, everyone close to the Los Angeles Lakers is adamant that Bynum is on track to return. The second week in March is being circled as Bynum’s probable return date.
Bynum, who is one of the best up-and-coming centers in the NBA, still is dealing with swelling and hasn’t worked out extensively yet. However, unless he suffers a setback, he should be ready to roll in about a month.
When he returns, Bynum’s role will be a little different. With new bigman Pau Gasol in the fold, Bynum likely won’t have to carry much offensive load right off the bat. He can concentrate on rebounding, blocked shots and scoring garbage points around the basket.
Bynum, before his injury, was one of the biggest fantasy surprises on the season. When he returns, he should continue to be a very good fantasy player. Any lost points should be made up in other areas.

When Karl Malone injuried himself while playing with the lakers, his injury kept him out longer than the fans were led to believe, I hope Bynum’s injury won’t turn out to be that way.

Since the Lakers are putting a semi-rigid timetable on this injury, I wouldn’t worry too much. Second week of March sound pretty specific.
However, if the Lakers release any information that comeback date could be in jeopardy, it’d be time to get worried. Since Bynum is so young, the Lakers have extra motivation to keep him out until he’s 100%.
If you can trade him now for a comparable piece, it’s probably a wise move. If not, hold and pray :)

Karl Malone was an old man… Young Andrew Bynum should be able to recover much quicker. The body’s invinsible (almost) when you’re young.

I think that he will return in April because his knee will probably be a 100% and they will be a excellent playoff team.
When he does return I will be so happy because the lakers are going to be the team that you dont want to play in the playoffs

i think andrew bynum will still remain as the best upcoming big man in the west & in the nba.. maybe the los angeles lakers have a big chance to regain the title, after being thrown in the pistons-lakers finals..2003-04!!! The texas triangle in the nba should be aware of it..

Bynum needs to believe in the Lord that he will come back with a healthy knee cuz the Lord knows that he needs to come and help the Lakers in the finals
