The
results are in, and while they aren't pretty, they could have been much worse:
After MRI tests and an examination by team doctor Steve Lombardo of the Kerlan-Jobe Orthopaedic Group earlier today, it has been determined that Lakers center Andrew Bynum suffered a subluxation of the patella and a bone bruise of his left knee in last night's game. Bynum is expected to be out a minimum of eight weeks. Bynum is expected to make a full recovery.
If eight weeks sounds like a long time, well, it's because it is. But still, if he stays on schedule, he could return by the middle of March, which would give him a solid six weeks to get into a groove before the playoffs. But how will the Lakers fill Bynum's sizable void (13 ppg, 10 rpg, 2 bpg) in the meantime?
