Injury prone for sure. Lulz to those that said bynum will be better than dwight Howard.

[G-Funk]

just found out that hes out for the season!!! fuuuuuuuK!

[Samurai Swoosh]

They should have traded dude awhile ago ...

[icewill36]

hes fine

[CHi1PriDe]

noo way :roll: whoops sorry, :(

[EvanW]

they just showed a replay of it. he stepped on blair's foot and the knee basically rolled. looked ugly.

[Scoooter]

Scheduled for an MRI tomorrow morning. Won't travel with the team. DeMarcus Cousins could have a big game.

[lock]

Won't play tomorrow.

[MayCeltics]

I feel sick. Bynum is warrior though. Injuries don't fade him.

Get well Andrew

[Stat & Melo]

lol

[EricGordon23]

SO any update yet? on how long he will be out for?

[TylerOO]

I hate lakers but I feel bad for him.

as of right now, at least 27mins....mri tomorrow.

[Mr. Jabbar]

If anyone knows how to play without Bynum, thats the Lakers :pimp:

[nba_55]

I watched it and it didnt looked that bad. He and Gasol had similar injuries last week.

[e-LIMON-ators]

I think it might be bad, he had his head in his hands when he was down. He knew immediately that it was bad. When the trainer was talking to phil and the coaches on the bench, it looked tense. I think if it isn't too bad they should rest him till the WCF if they get that far.

[hkfosho]

SO any update yet? on how long he will be out for?

rest of the season and the playoffs.

["Jesus"]

As it might be good news for other teams, I still hope for a speedy recovery for him. Tough break.

[bagelred]

OMG..........they just said Bynum will be out the ENTIRE rest of the regular season.

That's gotta hurt.

[kuniva_dAMiGhTy]

rest of the season and the playoffs.

trolling or not?

[Insiderbball]

I hope it ends his season. Kobe doesn't deserve being carried by another 7 footer

["Jesus"]

MRI tomorrow morning.

[Doranku]

trolling or not?

If it's a hyper-extension, I wouldn't count on him returning.

[detroitdogg]

I wasn't even really worried about the losing streak. It was unfortunate, but I just chalked it up as them sleep walking into the playoffs and was cool with them being healthy heading into the playoffs.

THEN BYNUM AND GODDAMN KNEE AGAIN :facepalm

[vinsane01]

Seriously who's had enough of Bynum getting injured? Its getting old, stupid guys made out of glass.

[icewill36]

somewhere, michael beasley is smiling

[Micku]

Woow. That kind'a sucks. Very scary for Laker fans.

Wtf is up with Bynum. Dude is injury prone. He has potential if he doesn't mess up his knee.

Hopefully he'll be okay.

[Doranku]

Shoulda shipped him out for Melo. :facepalm

[Grim]

I feel so defeated...like my soul has been depleted. Without Bynum, we are in shit's creek. idk wtf we gonna do.

we won with him still recovering two years ago, but shit is different now. we need Odom to fukking play consistent and great.

[Scholar]

Ah, man... I've been worried about Bynum getting injured for quite some time since he came back from that 2 game suspension.
C'mon, Bynum! Don't be Greg Oden!

I blame Phil for this shit, Caracter should have been getting playing time during the season for this exact reason.

Now we might have to depend on Joe Smith and Ratliff for front court depth?

:facepalm

[STATUTORY]

should traded Mr. Samuel L jackson's character in Unbreakable Bynum for Melo when we had the chance

I think lakers should seriously look to move Bynum this offseason. Maybe take a chance and try and get Howard or CP3. LOL how funny would it be if they move him to Portland for Oden.

you obviously didn't watch b/c you were smoking :pimp:

[jstern]

Though I particularly don't care about the Lakers, it devastates me whenever anyone get hurts. Ironically, it was during a game where their opponent was resting its starters to prevent something similar. And hear I thought the Spurs were over reacting. Hope it's not that serious and Bynum makes it for the playoffs.

[Insiderbball]

??? He was carried on a wheelchair what are you smoking?

It was prolly nothing. Might need like a week or two if its not serious.

I had the same exact injury happen to me playing ball, I was fine after about a week. He will be fine people.

Kobe jus gonna have to step it up if he really wanna win and i think he will

just like kobe really stepped it up the last 5 games

[zac]

That doesn't look that bad.
For a normal player it wouldn't be that bad, but considering it's Bynum who has very bad knees to begin with and it's the knee that he has a brace on, it could be way worse than it looked.

[PP34Deuce]

Charles and Webber are right about them needing to win out to not face Portland or Denver.

La needs that 2nd seed the hornets will be an easier time for them.Bynum best case could be back by western Conference finals.

[Colby Brian]

just like kobe really stepped it up the last 5 games

i swear every post is something negative about the mamba

Wow. That's got to suck. Maybe Lakers should just play Bynum on 2nd half of the season so they can use him for playoffs.

Well during the last 3 Finals runs he's averaged 30/6/6. If he can still put up numbers similar to that again this year we still have a good chance to 3-peat, but everyone will really have to step up if Drew is out.

[R3AL NY BaLLeR]

Playoffs start soon so enuff predictions lets jus see what happens

[R3AL NY BaLLeR]

first of all, he shot 40%

secondly he's dropped off this season

[oh the horror]

Am I the only one getting a bit turned off by the level of trolling around here?


Its one thing to troll, but when you enter the realm of making fun of fanbases, and players and teams when their key pieces go down with potential high end injuries, arent we getting a bit into the scum-baggery territory?


Who raises these people?


I would never celebrate the injury of another team's player like that. Thats just sad and ridiculous looking from a "fan" of the sport.

[LA KB24]

lol @ haters rejoicing over injury.

wasn't bynum just an overrated role player at best, anyway?

I ask myself that question also.

The scariest thing is, some of these trolls are actually adults.

With no family, no job, no aspirations in life...etc. Just coming to a teenage dominated forum to laugh at other players injuries.

Come the f*ck on already.

[donald_trump]

apparently its only a hyper extension. shouldnt be out for too long. might even be able to play the first game of the playoffs.

[whoartthou]

lol @ haters rejoicing over injury.

yes he was overrated... by kobe bryant fans. If he is indeed injured.. lets see how "overrated" he really was

[oh the horror]

The scariest thing is, some of these trolls are actually adults.





I refuse to believe that. As much as I dislike particular teams, and players, I would like to see ALL teams going into the post-season at full strength.


I cant even wrap my mind around an individual that would laugh about this. So I chalk it up to them being teenagers with poor parenting.

[Stuckey]

hate the lakers, but this dims the playoffs a lot

[ballup]

Another knee injury. So will the Lakers consider tanking to get a full chance at the next, if there is one, championship?

[Ol Dirty Bastard]

Again the same story every year:

"just wait till Bynum comes back"

Nah trust me, some of these guys are adults.

ashbelly himself is in his 30s already.

[Ne 1]

first of all, he shot 40%

secondly he's dropped off this season

What?

During the last 3 Finals runs his shooting percentages are:
58 TS%, 56 TS% and 55 TS%

48 FG%, 46 FG% and 46 FG%

51 eFG%, 49 eFG% and 51 eFG%

Don't know what the hell your talking about.....

[Bigsmoke]

i really do not like the Lakers but i hope he gets better.

[Kobe24Clutch]

:facepalm Wow Bynum lakers should trade his ass for Greg Oden.

[oh the horror]

What gets me is, wouldnt people around here that hate on LA want to see them go down at full strength, rather than missing the key player to their run?


Seems weird to me.

[PP34Deuce]

I say next season while hes healthy you feature him for 2 weeks and drive his price back up. Cut your losses just like a real life boss would. Hes costing you more money sitting at home then his big impact he may have.

gasol has about 3 more years to be a 20 10 guy, Odom can play at current level for about 3 more years. keep most of your young bench, Kobe can still give u 25ppg for 2 more years i believe. Just need to retool and get an athletic defensive pg who can make his open shot and a 3 whos athletic and shoot the 3.

[The Choken One]

it doesnt really matter what kobe does, their advantage is their size. without bynum that interior is a whole lot softer.

no offence but this injury is all Bynums fault

Ive said it to ALL of my friends.


If Bynum goes down with ANOTHER injury that hinders him completely or keeps him out of the playoffs YET AGAIN then its time for this kid to bounce. LA is WASTING their time with this kid.


This is why i was ALL FOR them trading him for Carmelo Anthony (if that was the case even)


What good is that "size advantage" if he ISNT ON THE FLOOR??

[ashbelly]

:oldlol: :oldlol: :oldlol: I'm about to call my laker friend and deliver the news, i wish i could record his reaction, especially because tonight when we were hanging out he was laughing at the celtics excuse of not having perkins for the final game of the finals..

Actually, If they had the chance to have gotten Melo. that would have been perfect for LA...in the 2 years later Kobe is no longer to be the consistent first option, you have a 27-28 year old 6'8 SF who can give you 25-30ppg with 7-8 rebounds and good timely defense.

He provides NOTHING for us in terms of being readily, and healthy when the time matters.


YES, last year we pulled it off with him hobbling around on one leg, but realistically, with guys like Kobe and co. getting older....how much longer can it be excused?



I say, get the kid the hell outta here!

[Lebron23]

Bynum and Gasol are the only 2 likeable players on that team. I feel bad for Bynum, But I think the Lakers would trade him in the off season because he's injury prone.

Phil said Bynum told him he'd be fine.

[oh the horror]

I just cant see LA wasting anymore time on Bynum. He isnt in LA's future.

[The_Yearning]

I always LOL at people who overrated Bynum's impact...have you checked out his postseason numbers? Its close to non-existent. The result will be the same if Bynum is playing or not playing in the playoffs because that is all-stars shine and Bynum has never been all-star material.

Definitely should of tried to get Melo or LaMarcus Aldridge.

I dont know man....to me, it wasnt really about Andrew's numbers, but his presence in the paint alone would sway teams.


A legit 7 footer, is a legit 7 footer. But as Ive stated....if he can never go in healthy, then wtf is the point?

[AMISTILLILL]

Christ, the kid goes down with a hyperextension and the LA fanbase on this board is already packing his bags and buying him a plane ticket.

Mellow out already. Even with a propensity for injuries, is this how you repay key players to your championship seasons?

What good is that "size advantage" if he ISNT ON THE FLOOR??

i agree to the extent that l.a. would still have a size advantage even without bynum there.
its a shame though. lakers did a great job finding a guy who clearly is a great player at a young age and who knows how to use his size and length. i think if he ever does get it together in terms of injuries that he will be a great player. a 20/10 type guy with great defense due to being such a presence.

i honestly believe he has the same effect as dwight in terms of deterring players to drive into the paint. hes not there yet in other things on the defensive end, though there is no denying his length deters a lot of drives.

[RoseCity07]

That's really shitty. No Steve Blake, and now Bynum goes down.

Hope he's alright to play at some point in the playoffs.

[whoartthou]

this is ****ing stupid. So you wanted bynum for melo? And how exactly would kobe/melo coexist? Kobe is going to want to be the man regardless.. mello wont do shit

[oh the horror]

Its really a drag. If the Lakers were going to be bounced out. I'd rather see a hard fought series, with teams at full capacity, rather than a key player going down.


I felt the same way about Perk, when LA played Boston last year. It was just shitty to watch. You dig the fact that your team won, but there is always that factor of the whole "what if" involved.

[SavageMode]

So the fate of the Lakers is in the hands of Bynum... and these foolz tell me Kobe didn't get carried by his Big men.

CP3
Kobe
Artest
Odom

Artest is not aging well at all. doesnt even use his size in the post. Lakers need an athletic 3 in the Gerald Wallce/Thad Young/Deng mold.

I think any team that gets Chris Paul will need to get a poor mans version of him as a back up. I do not know how he will age because of his injuries.

[Noof]

So Bynum has swelling and did not mention any pain.

Good to hear.. he should have an idea of how severe his injury is after going through nearly every knee injury there is. Hopefully the MRI reveals nothing more than a bone bruise.

And the trolling is pathetic.. reveals how half this board is made up of teenagers, lol

this is the reason why players doesnt play defense. theyre sacrificing their bodies or theyre taking contacts from driving players at full speed just to stop them from scoring now that theyre injured, youre going to trade them?

I'm just giving you shit.


Mostly because every team knows what it's like to play without Bynum better than the Lakers.

[pethuel03]

Don't wanna scare Laker fans here but the most common non-contact mechanism of injury of an ACL injury is Knee Hyper extension. Second is Rotation on a planted foot.

I don't think he tore his ACL. If he did he would have been in excruciating pain. It didn't look that way.

I think Lakers fans should be optimistic. He walked off court under his own power and he said if next game was Game 7 of Finals, he would play. I'm guessing its not that bad.

Why would anyone rate this thread 4 stars?

I hope it ends his season. Kobe doesn't deserve being carried by another 7 footer

Not necessarily. I've had patients with severe ACL tears who felt minimal pain and could walk on the knee, though with significant instability. Quite a few, in fact.

I don't understand why so many people like to see this guy injured. Im not a Lakers fan but I want to see the best players play and with the lack of quality big men in this league, a healthy Bynum would be great. Do you people hate the Lakers because it's the cool thing to do or because you despise them for being so good? Im a Wolves fan and I see no reason to hate the Lakers.

I hate that idiots like you make yourself look like a fan of the Heat. LeBron > Wade and I want LA healthy in the finals.

:oldlol: LA needs to take lessons from San Antonio and Boston. Rest your freakin' starters at the end of the season.

Yea especially when they could slip to the 4 if the lose both games. Thats smart. Obv they rest them if the game is meaningless

Any news yet?

Hopefully it isnt serious, I hate seeing players get injured.

Thanks for all the love and support! I'm feeling better then expected, getting therapy now. I will check back in once I get the results!

Whew. Those are some reassuring words. Come on, Bynum!

[AMISTILLILL]

Even if his knee was injured it isn't as if they'd come out and say it. With the Lakers recent struggles the last thing they would need is Bynum injured and reports coming out about how he might not be back for X amount of time.

this worries me a bit, so many injuries it may be slightly difficult for him to secure his spot as the greatest basketball player of all time. Now don't get me wrong, I am still quite certain this will happen, as I am sure all of you still feel it will happen as well. But I am a little concerned, I must admit.
