EL SEGUNDO, CALIFORNIA (TICKER) —Los Angeles Lakers center Andrew Bynum has a torn right MCL and will be sidelined eight to 12 weeks, the team announced Monday.
Bynum suffered the injury in the first quarter of Saturday’s victory over the Memphis Grizzlies.
The 7-foot center had his knee examined Sunday in New York but, according to the Los Angeles Times, Dr. David Altchek was out of town and has not had a chance to review the MRI.
Bynum's knee is made of glass.
thanks for the update, lets hope he comes back before the playoffs.
Tough loss for the Lakers.
+1
hopefully the spurs can take advantage and try to get the 1 spot. We need it if they want any chance at beating L.A. if we get that far in the PO
Yep............he is done. He will always have knee issues. Too bad, looked like he was gonna be a great player.
He is not done. There have been guys with major knee surgeries (micro-fracture) to come back and do very well.
So he'll be back for the playoffs, out-of-rythms in the 1-2 round, and should be ready for us on the WCF - no excuses![]()
Shawn Kemp is one example.
Out 8-12 Weeks per Yahoo
Wow that sucks for him and the Lakers. It always seems to be the ones that don't look bad in the replay.
I wonder how Gerald Wallace feels after hearing this news.
Karma most certainly IS a .
I'm unmoved and indifferent to this news, Wallace meant a lot to Bobcats' fans playoff chances with Larry Brown.
Lakers still have Gasol and Kobe, so wgaf.
Not totally done......but with a history of knee injuries.........that will definitely make him play more passive dont you think? You feel he will be the same Bynum when he returns? Maybe......
Two faulty knee?
Thats not good for his career. Imagine how much care he will have to take now
Good luck to Bynum, bad luck to the Lakers.
Kobe just couldn't take someone else getting in the spot light.
sucks. I wanted him in there with the Lakers at full strength. Remember the feeling of us beating down the 3 time champs in '03 ? Nothing better. Oh well, they will still be formidable. Maybe he makes it back in time for the playoffs.
This is manna from heaven for Hillinger.... dude got an excuse to change all his moronic predictions.
Sounds like Mahinmi's ankle.![]()

Ehh, it's bad news, but I think he'll still have plenty of time to make it back for the playoffs. Not only that, but even without him in the regular season, Lakers still have a great team and should be able to sustain their #1 seed.
