Bynum Update

Great news! As long as he has a few games under his belt before the Playoffs, the Lakers should be the team to beat. Get well, Bynum!

Inside the Lakers: Andrew Bynum has started workouts on a stationary bicycle and an elliptical trainer this week, the first steps in his rehabilitation and recovery from a torn medial collateral ligament suffered Jan. 31 against the Memphis Grizzlies.

The Lakers expect the 7-foot Bynum to be sidelined until at least April. Coach Phil Jackson said recently he doesn’t expect Bynum to be ready to resume basketball drills until some time in March.
