Lakers center Andrew Bynum will miss another six to ten weeks because of a torn medial collateral ligament in his right knee.

Los Angeles has been without Bynum for seven games already, and will have to rely on Pau Gasol and Lamar Odom if they want to upend the Celtics and Cavaliers for the NBA's best record.

Six weeks from Tuesday would mean Bynum could return as early as March 31, but ten weeks would push him back to April 28, when the postseason will have already begun.

Hope he comes back strong but this is starting to sound like last year. I wish him a speedy recovery.

he's done for the year i bet

[.:DaYg0sTyLz:.]

[Rick McCrank]

it's still the same timetable to a degree

this happened 2 1/2 weeks ago

so that would turn the original outlook from 8-12 weeks to 9-13 weeks

god dammit!! 

[PLANT]

wow saw this coming

lakers been playing great ball since hes been out tho, Lamar has been on a tear!

[OG Hack Wilson]

lakers are very defensive right now, watch em pla hard the next few weeks and fizzle out in the playoffs vs the Spurs

ummm...this happened about 2 weeks ago, which would mean he's on schedule. the bad news woulda been if the time woulda been extended or remained at 12 weeks. he'll be back for playoffs.

a little note in the LA Times today said he's out at least until the end of March, start of April

let's hope that really stands so he can get back in the swing of things in the last stretch of the season

the projected time has been the same since the incident took place...people are makin it seem like something new is being said when the last informal report was published when the injury first took place. there's currently nothing being said about his progress...PeACe

not worried

It would be easier with Bynum but the Lakers can still go all the way without him

[Mr. Nice Guy]

If Kwame made it back last season from this injury, I don't see why Andrew wont

[you gon always be my latin queen bitch]

HELL BE BACK
DIDNT KNOW OR DOESNT LOOK THAT TALL THO

[Bch]

they should just sit bynum out. he's going to come back in the playoffs, all out of sync..  straight non factor come playoff time.
