Lakers: Andrew Bynum CloseBy: Eric Pincus Last Updated: 3/30/09 4:12 PM ETWhile the Los Angeles Lakers battle through their longest road trip of the season, back in Los Angeles injured center Andrew Bynum nears a return.Bynum partially tore his right MCL on January 31st in Memphis against the Grizzlies. The original timetable for recovery was said to be 8-12 weeks.According to his website www.andrewbynum.com, Bynum has progressed to the point where he is "playing 2 on 2 and 3 on 3, while waiting on the team to return."Following standard recovery protocols, Bynum's next step towards recovery would be to test himself in a 5 on 5 scrimmage . . . typically the final step before a player is back on the active roster.The Lakers are scheduled to play the Charlotte Bobcats and Milwaukee Bucks on back-to-back nights on Tuesday and Wednesday. Coach Phil Jackson wouldn't be likely to hold a full practice on Thursday.The team's next home game is on Friday against the Houston Rockets, likely without Bynum. If, however, he can get in a full practice on Saturday, April 4th . . . perhaps the Lakers will be able to get him on the court against the Los Angeles Clippers on Sunday.That assumes that Bynum's knee responds well to the increase in activity. A delay might take him to April 9th against the Denver Nuggets or even as late as the Memphis Grizzlies on the 12th.The Lakers were able to lock up the top seed in the Western Conference without him but are eager to wield a complete roster for the coming postseason.http://www.hoopsworld.com/Story.asp?story_id=12100
^Charlotte always beats us...it's like a curse or some shit.

Injured Lakers center Andrew Bynum has a new, custom-made brace he plans to wear on his right knee once he is able to play again this season. Bynum worked out extensively before Friday night's game and proclaimed he is pain free from a medial collateral ligament tear suffered Jan. 31, against the Memphis Grizzlies.Bynum is expected to add to his workload today when the Lakers practice in preparation for Sunday's game against the Clippers. The hope is that Bynum can return for at least two or three of the final regular-season games."That's the goal," Bynum said, "to come back as soon as possible and get some games under my belt."With the Cleveland Cavaliers having lost two consecutive games, Jackson said the Lakers' goal of finishing the season with the league's best overall record remains attainable. With the regular season winding down, Jackson is making sure that recently acquired guard Shannon Brown is in the playing rotation. The hope is that Brown can provide defensive help in the playoffs.
