allonthefield +2I've had this same injury before, and eight weeks is probably on the optimistic side for a return. And even when he gets back, he'll be thinking about it, holding back just a little so it doesn't happen again. This is a huge blow to the Lakers.

Bynum had won the starter’s spot until he was injured Sunday.
“Andrew seems to be sustaining his conditioning and his energy pretty well right now,” Jackson said. “He’s able to play 35 minutes now. His productivity, you just can’t turn away from it as a coach. He’s just too productive to not have him on the floor.”

Laker's Andrew Bynum Out for Awhile

It sounds like Andrew Bynum's injury is going to keep him out a lot longer than just the couple of weeks I assumed when it was being described as a "sprained knee" this morning. ESPN reports that Bynum will be out for eight weeks with a left knee subluxation. If he really is out that long, that would mean he'll miss both of the remaining two regular season meetings between the Lakers and Suns. I don't know about anyone else, but I would much rather have faced these guys at full strength (for us as well as them). Too bad that's not going to happen again unless we ...
Thoughts on (hopefully only) eight Drew-less weeks

On the plus side, I learned what "subluxation" means. On the minus side, everything else. I'm not gonna lie. Nor am I gonna beat around the bush. Andrew Bynum missing at least eight weeks with, in layman's terms, a dislocated kneecap puts the Lakers, to use "Ocean's Eleven" speak, in "Barney Rubble." For those of you who only saw "Ocean's Twelve," that's the Don Cheadle character's phrase for "trouble." And if there's such a thing as "deep Barney Rubble," the Lakers are currently standing waist-high in it. They've just gone from one of the top-5 teams in the west (arguably ...

Bynum’s agent told ESPN three days after the injury that he was already on the road to recovery. “He’s already focusing on his rehab,” said David Lee . Even listen to ...

... Andrew Bynum in 2007-08 - Bynum hurts his knee against the Grizz back in January. Sitting at the top of the Western Conference, the season looks lost and fears of "here we go again (with the injuries)" are throughout the locker room. The Lakers diagnose it as a "temporarily dislocated his kneecap and suffered a bone bruise" with a recovery time of 8 weeks (a mid-March return). Bynum is still not ready to return. Reports fluctuate from next week to early May with rumors of next season... it seems as though nobody knows. ...
