Injury Updates ( Bynum included)

[Greer]

Bynum needs to get back soon...but should def take his time. 100% healthy.

[Kobay]

God damn im better than these freaking medical staff.


Ariza broken foot? Drink some Milk!!!!

Bynum Knee cap popped out??? Kick that sh** back in place!


Fire medical staff and begin to fine players for putting feet under players.

[shobe_81]

This is on Dr. Buss for f*** teens all the time and getting drunk and not paying attention to the damn team.

Mitch Kupchak is the one who saved the franchise while others get drunk and party hard!

The medical staff needs to change because clearly the players are not getting the correct time-table for returns and their injury becomes worse as time passes by!

[snaquille oatmeal]

one thing that does tick me off about the medical staff is that all the injured players are walking around putting pressure on their injuries all the time. the day Pau got hurt he walked out of the Arena on his own. I read a while ago about Trevor walking around with a boot on, and Bynum also walking around with a boot on. can't the medical staff tell this guys to get around on little rascal or golf car or something.

[smdyp]

when will Andrew Bynum play?

[Danny Darko]

Wish we knew when. Starting to look more like will he be back this year?

[dockingsched]

well, these next 3 days were suppose to be the practices most important for getting bynum back into a rhythm with his team.

I heard Phil gave the team days off til Friday

[Dexmor]

This man needs to be back by round 2 and round 1 if we are down.

I'm a Jazz fan but came to your forum for the latest information on Bynum. After reading the complaints about Laker medical staff, I have to tell you that a guy on our board said he had it on an inside source that Bynum was out for the season after the injury.

So, I'm sure if this source knew that, then the Lakers did also, but were only being hopeful rather than realistic about his expected return when they said 8 weeks.

for all the comments that have come out in the press about timelines for him there have also been comments from phil & mitch that have had pesimistic tones to them...................'if we get him back'...'hopefully back by playoffs'.

the writing's been on the wall but i'm still hopefull we'll see him in p&g by the second round

[Erik Eleven]

Second round would be nice. I'm going to home game three of that round...

[Verbal]

If we make it past the 1st round, I should follow your lead and celebrate too.

[second_coming32]

We can get by without Bynum against Denver. I'm a little nervous if we have to go up against Utah but I think we can pull it off. Obviously Bynum would be a big help against phoenix.....and I don't think we can beat Boston without Bynum and Pau in the lineup.

Detroit however, I like our chances with Pau. Bynum won't be needed there....missed....but not needed. As much as I would like to see a Boston / Lakers final, there defense is scary good and quite frankly I'm not sure if we're good enough.

[Dexmor]

Detroit doesn't scare me but the Suns and the Hornets and the Celtics do.

from the looks of the story hes not coming back this year. IMO.

[Gerald3Wallace]

yeah...it dont look like this dude is returning this year..

i just hope this injury isnt anything serious that would make him a low impact player (penny)....

knocks on wood

[iamworthy]

Guess we will have to go to battle with what we have. Hopefully Ariza can still come back for the 2nd round....if we make it. Lakers have really handled this poorly IMO.

[The Laker Kid]

I was listening to AM 710 this afternoon around 7pm.. they were saying that the Lakers cleared all media reporters from the training facility BEFORE Andrew started to (practice?). They said that they were so strict that he was even escorted OUTSIDE just to make sure he was really outside. They were hinting that the Lakers are up to something.. like they are making his injury sound really bad but in reality the Lakers just don't want the whole world to know that Bynum's fine. I'm thinking that they will unleash him to surprise teams like San Antonio or Boston.
