Bynum out 8 to 12 weeks
The wait is over but what a bad news for L.A.
Bynum will be sidelined 8 to 12 weeks because of a strained MLC.
Last year, the talented young center was playing the best basket of his career before dislocated his left knee vs the Grizzlies.
This time, after earning the "player of the week" honors for the 1st time, Bynum hurt his right knee when Kobe crashed into his leg...vs Memphis.
Without Bynum, the Lakers acquired Gasol and made a trip to the NBA finals last year. This time, it could happen again. However, Bynum felt better than the last season and is optimistic about a return just before the playoffs. The injury won't require surgery and only time and rehab will be necessary.
"Sucks to be injured again. But It's better news than I expected to hear because of the shot that I took. I'm very optimistic I should be back by April. Last year was a totally different injury and required surgery." Bynum said.
