Now if they could find an injection to lubricate his brain in order to get working better, that'd be worth investing in.

76ers To Sit Drew Until He Has No Pain In Knee

PHILADELPHIA — Turns out Andrew Bynum didn’t practice Wednesday and won’t work out with the team for the foreseeable future.

GM Tony DiLeo told the large media contingent on hand that Bynum is still experiencing discomfort in his right knee and won’t participate in any basketball activities until he is pain-free. It’s unclear when that will be.

Bynum, who missed training camp and the seven-game preseason to rest his surgically repaired knees, said there is still a chance he could be in the lineup for next Wednesday’s season opener against the Nuggets. There are five practices scheduled between now and the opener, and Bynum hasn't scrimmaged since the NBA playoffs in May or played with his Sixers teammates yet.

DiLeo was a bit less optimistic.

“It’s just a healing process,” DiLeo said. “When it heals, it heals.”

DiLeo admitted the Sixers are being somewhat cautious with Bynum prior to the start of the 82-game regular season.

“I would play with pain,” Bynum said. “If it were up to me, I would play.”

Collins, whose team went 6-1 in the preseason without Bynum, declined to speculate how long it’d take Bynum to be ready to play once he gets back on the court.

“I have no idea,” Collins said. “It’s all hypothetical. We’re not going to look over at (Bynum as) a lifeline. If this team feels like we can’t win without him, we won’t win.”

Bynum, acquired in an August trade from the Lakers that also involved Dwight Howard and Andre Iguodala, had two Synvisc-One shots (one in each knee) Monday. He is scheduled to have two more during the mid-February all-star break.

Bynum apparently aggravated the knee doing a basketball drill prior to training camp.

On Sept. 15, Bynum went to Germany for plasma therapy on both knees.

Bynum, 24, was the starting center for the Western Conference in last year’s all-star game.

You're better than that.

[MyJohnsonIsMagic]

You're better than that.

I was, until I got trolled by the Drew supporters so badly I had to change aliases.

Maybe I didn't word my shiz out correctly, reason I'll be jumping for joy when Drew goes down is because it finally won't be with the Lakers, not because I'm Nelson from the Simpsons and I have to come by and say 'ha ha' at Drew for being injured.

Just glad we don't have Drew on our team holding us back anymore is all I'm trying to say.

Drew was my favorite player here but I think it was about mid way last season maybe earlier I was cool with him being traded. Dwight was just to much of an opportunity.
