This news story title is starting to get far too familiar for fans of the LA Lakers. Then again it could be worse, they could be fans of the Blazers Greg Oden instead…
Center Andrew Bynum, revealed he’s unlikely to play until late November while recovering from offseason knee surgery…
Bynum has a problem: He had his injured knee drained twice during the playoffs and a third time after the season, but then postponed surgery so he could make a trip to Europe and South Africa, visiting Germany and Spain before attending the World Cup with Bryant and Gasol.
“It was amazing, because I never saw to much emotion going through people,” Bynum said.
Bynum wrapped up the trip with a four-day safari. Coach Phil Jackson praised the center for indulging in life experiences that aren’t always available to a 23-year-old who joined the workforce straight out of high school.
Bynum said he delayed the surgery until late July because everybody thought his recovery would last no more than eight weeks, but his surgeon changed plans and did a more thorough procedure that requires more down time. Bynum can’t put any undue stress on his leg for another four weeks.
