Bynum back, Gasol not (http://www.latimes.com/sports/la-sp-lakers11-2009nov11,0,334422.story)
Bynum practiced Tuesday and will play against Phoenix after missing two games because of a strained right elbow and sore right triceps.
"He ran well and I thought was aggressive and didn't show any signs of his injury," Jackson said. "We're pleased."
Pau Gasol, on the other hand, did not practice Tuesday and is expected to miss his eighth consecutive game because of a strained hamstring that has bothered him for more than a month.
After practice, Gasol was seen face-down on a training table, getting his hamstring worked on by Lakers massage therapist Marko Yrjovuori. Gasol did not talk to reporters Tuesday.
"I saw him upright today," Jackson said, smiling.
Gasol worked out on an elliptical machine, but "I don't have any hopes for him [to play] on Thursday," Jackson said.
