Pau Gasol participated in a brief scrimmage and Andrew Bynum was told by Coach Phil Jackson he would accompany the team on a two-game trip next week, though he wouldn't necessarily play.
Bynum was doing "really well" in his recovery after working his way through some patellar tendinitis in his injured left knee, Jackson said.
"It's not really connected to his injury per se. It was just the amount of work that he's started to be able to do, which is impressive," Jackson said. "I told him to expect to go on the trip to Sacramento [next Sunday] and Portland [on April 8]. Whether he can play or not, it may not be that time, but he's going to go through the workouts and practices and the pregame and whatever we have."
The Lakers have four regular-season games left after that trip.
Gasol, who has sat out eight games because of a sprained left ankle, took part in a five-minute scrimmage at the team's training facility, but probably won't play tonight against Washington. He could run straight ahead Saturday without any pain but still had trouble planting and cutting, he said.
"It was a first step," he said. "It's still pretty sore. I'm still doubtful. We'll see how it feels [Sunday]."
The Lakers' next game after tonight is Wednesday against Portland.
The Lakers (49-24) could definitely use Gasol after showing an inability to control their home court against lesser teams.
Gasol sat on the bench Friday night, chin often planted on his hand, while watching Memphis, his former team, hit the Lakers with another embarrassing loss at Staples Center.
As has been the case the past few months, there were other injury updates to sift through.
Derek Fisher did not practice Saturday because of a partially torn tendon in his right foot but is expected to play against Washington. Lamar Odom missed practice while continuing to recover from an upper-respiratory infection. Also, Trevor Ariza could begin running in about two weeks. He has been out 35 games because of a broken bone in his right foot.
"If the diagnostics show that he's had healing, he can get where he wants to get to," Jackson said. "He goes and has [medical] pictures every two weeks and if he's got a white line in there that shows it's still not healing, he's got to wait. The last news we had was he could be on the court running approximately two weeks from now."

Ugh get healthy niggas! It'd suck if Kobe lost the MVP cuz his teammates can't stay healthy.
-
Why the hell are you thinking about the MVP when we're going for a ring? LMAO.
Anyways, Bynum could pretty much play right now.. they're just tryna be safe and not rush him back too soon.

Because I want him to win it. You do too, you just may not want to admit it.

Of course I want him to win it...but it's funny how you say it like it's your main concern. "Oh no! The Lakers are injured! Now Kobe wont get MVP!!!"...LOL.
-
Ehh if thats how you read it whos fault is that? My exact quote was: It'd suck if Kobe lost the MVP cuz his teammates can't stay healthy - which seems to be the general consensus.

The Spurs have been easy to beat this season. Dude, your team is just too old to repeat...if they couldn't do it in their prime, what makes you think they can do it now?

BK will have a formal practice report coming later today, but called me from the freeway to give y'all a Cliffs Notes rundown. In a nutshell, Pau Gasol participated during all of today's practice and assuming there's no negative reaction as a result of said participation, he should be on the court tomorrow against the Blazers. His actual PT is still up in the air, but that would indeed be a step forward. And while Andrew Bynum didn't take part in the practice proceedings, he did run the court today, supporting his body weight in its entirety (as opposed to work on the Lakers' futuristic, space age treadmill, which takes up some of the pressure for him). Obviously, he won't be suiting up tomorrow, but Drew will head out on the road with the team on Saturday, meaning there are hopes alive for action either Sunday in Sacto or a week from today in Portland.

It's about time our second most important player comes back

yay, Wilt is back

Bynum is finally done with the anti-gravity treadmill and has graduated to on-court work.
The unofficial reality with regard to Andrew Bynum is this: He’s hankering to play the last couple of regular-season games, yet the firmer projection is that he merely wants — probably with the help of a three-day layoff before the post season — for his left knee to be right for the start of the serious second season.

LOL. Good luck with your playoff-chemistry my niggas.
-
I'll be realistic about Bynums return...
IMO, It Will cause Serious Problems Inside The Paint for The Lakers Starting 5
Because..Someone is Going To Lose Some Rebounding & Block Pct. Point's.
(Those are the Type of prob's The Lakers have been Missing Since #17 went Down)

^yea, it'll cause serious problems....for the opposition. 8)
-
^ real talk. Too much talent is a problem we like having. watch our bench do damage: Bynum / Turiaf / Ariza (hopefully) / Sasha / Jordan
-
I can't wait to see Bynum & Gasol on the court at the same time :o :o
-
LOL. Good luck with your playoff-chemistry my niggas.
Bynum already knows the system and will come of the bench in the last couple games in the season. The transition will work well.
Gasol/Bynum/Mihm
Odom/Turiaf
Walton/Radmonvic/Ariza
Bryant/Vujacic
Fisher/Farmer

The league is in trouble.

I think you are overrating Bynum's return. You act like he's a veteran coming back from an ankle sprain. When the facts are that he's young as fuck and coming off a knee injury and has yet to play a basketball game with Gasol in his life. Also, Lamar Odom is proven to be a faggot in the clutch, always missing FTs and all. Don't forget that Fisher is injured and has even been in a slump before that. Do you really think Farmar isn't too young to hold his own in a Game 7 against the Spurs, when Parker is making him work on the defensive end like no other while Bowen is doing nasty things to him? Next year it will be better, but right now it is quite absurd to act as if the Lakers were an untouchable playoff team... sorry.

LMAO@Odom being a "faggot in the clutch"...He's a 70% free throw shooter, which is not good, but it's still decent. And the only clutch free throws he shot this year were made. Fisher is playing the same with his injury...and most of all, I'm not overrating Bynum. Regardless of what you think, he's the second most important asset to our team...and with him back, it could only make us BETTER. Good thing you brought up the Spurs, because I really don't see the Lakers having any major problems taking care of them. They're old, washed up, and a step slower than the Spur teams who won those rings (notice how they put up 64 points in a loss to the Jazz last night)...In my honest opinion, Lakers are the future and the now..PeACe
-
I admit and despise how good the Lakers could be from 2009-13, but they will never have a championship banner that says 2008. Odom will miss FTs late in the 4th quarter, there is no way I'm even going to debate this with you.. it's that obvious. I'm shocked that you don't admit to his lack of mental strenght. He will probably also laugh while missing the 1st FT of 2 because he's that insecure. The Spurs are obviously past their prime but still capable enough to down the Lakers in a 7-game-series. I'm not going to go back and forth with you on this. We will both watch and see soon enough. To be honest, I bet you know I'm right also. You just don't want to jinx your team.

Yea, you're soooo right, the Lakers suck, no chance they can compete...The Spurs are unquestionably better! Odom is weak and he's a liability! LMAO.
Come on, man. You only WISH Odom was Shaq and the Lakers weren't contenders...YOU know the real. Mavs=the past. Spurs=the past. Lakers=the now...PeACe
-
Never did I say they can't compete. Everybody in the WC playoffs can compete this year. But the Spurs are that kind of team you REALLY have to outplay to beat in 7 games. When you are just a little better, the Spurs are going to win the series. The Lakers can hope for horribly officiated games in their favor, though. I mean, how much better would Lakers - Celtics be for the NBA, compared to the more likely scenario of Spurs - Pistons?

Sorry, but the Spurs aren't as good this year as you're making it seem...we can beat them even without Bynum and Ariza back. As for officiating, it's hard to imaging that going in the Lakers favor when we have Kobe on our team...PeaCe

I like their chances. You're right, Spurs are the team to beat in the West (experience, defence, Duncan, Parker, Manu, Horry, Popovic.. everything looks perfect: they are old, but they are like AC Milan in football, they know how to win), but imho Lakers have the best roster in the entire league, so everything can happen. They can win the title this year or the next, but it looks like Kobe will def win another ring or two till he retires. It's up to him now.

Bynum could be back by this weekend!
Phil Jackson had an interview with John Ireland in which he was asked: Will Bynum and/or Ariza play this weekend? Phil on Bynum: "I'm not gonna rule that out". Ariza - no, Bynum - perhaps". These are the exact words that he used.

Bynum doubtful for start of playoffs
Los Angeles Lakers center Andrew Bynum is doubtful for the start of the playoffs, and Coach Phil Jackson acknowledged a "sense of disappointment" that Bynum would not play in the Lakers' last three regular-season games the Los Angeles Times reported. Earlier this week, Jackson said there was a chance Bynum would begin practicing Saturday and possibly play Sunday against San Antonio.
The Lakers hoped Bynum would wait another week to see if the swelling disappeared, but Bynum's advisors wanted him to see the specialist Thursday. It appeared Bynum was working his way back into shape after beginning one-on-one workouts last week. He progressed from playing against assistant coaches to center Chris Mihm.
"They pushed to go early," Jackson said. "We wanted him to go next week. They really wanted to go."

Sounds like he won't be a factor in the playoffs. I doubt Phil is gonna play him before they worked all that stuff out... and even the Frist Round will not be easy... not easy enough to do some experiments.

Sounds like he's done for the season. If he's out 2 more weeks, it just doesn't make sense to all of a sudden include him in the line-up. I advise y'all niggas to not think about Bynum anymore, it will only make you sad.
-
I Say if Trevor Ariza can Come Back and Play, Or Mihm can play more mins
The Lakers should Shut Down Bynum For The stretch!
(Including The Playoffs, And Get him in The Gym and Ready for next year)
Lakers can hold their own & win it, - Bynum This Season. IMO
Tho having Andrew back would be the 8)

Lets be real, now.
very nice list. especially the game against Howard.
but those were before he was injured. lets see how he plays coming off an injury that kept him out 2+ months.

Bynum Isn't Making Much Progress
April 12, 2008 - 7:53 pm
The Orange County Register -
The latest report out of Los Angeles is that Andrew Bynum isn't making as much progress as the team would like, according to the Orange County Register.
"I still have a little bit of pain but jumping, running, backpedaling, and quick change of directions are still a problem," Bynum said Friday night.
A knee specialist has not cleared him for practice, and Bynum isn't sure if the second round of the playoffs is an ideal target for his return.
"I hope to be ready by then," he said. "Nobody knows. A couple of weeks from now might be good. It might not be good."

so realistically, earliest bynum will be back is western finals. hopefully we get 1st seed so we dont have to play spurs til then (unless spurs drop to 4th or 5th, which i doubt).
but damn we need to revamp our training staff. i have never seen an injury get mischronicled this badly on a week-to-week basis. this has gotten pretty sad now.
