Bynum Not Cleared To Practice

Center Andrew Bynum has missed 42 games because of a knee injury suffered against the Memphis Grizzlies on January 13th. That number will continue to rise after receiving news today that he has not been cleared for full practice or contact drills.

The news came after Bynum flew to New York to consult with knee specialist Dr. David Altchek on Wednesday.

“This should not be seen as a setback in any way,” said Altchek. “Andrew will continue with his therapy program and workouts with the Lakers’ training staff and will continue to be monitored until he can return to playing status.”
