[Orange County Register] Bynum may miss begining of season. http://lakers.ocregister.com/2010/09/22/lakers-hopeful-andrew-bynum-will-play-opener/41172/ Andrew Bynum’s return from surgery to repair torn cartilage in his right knee remains distant enough that it’s unclear if he’ll be on the court for the Lakers when they open the regular season Oct. 26 vs. Houston. “We’re hopeful that he’ll be ready for the start of the season,” Lakers spokesman John Black said Wednesday. Black said there is “an outside chance” that Bynum will be able to take part in the team’s final exhibition games Oct. 21 and 22. But right now, Bynum remains in the therapy segment of his rehabilitation, a long way from serious workouts or basketball activities. Bynum underwent arthroscopic surgery to repair a tear of the lateral meniscus in his right knee on July 28. He indicated to me as far back as the start of May that he would need surgery, but he put it off to contribute in the playoffs — which he definitely did. After the procedure, the Lakers issued a statement saying: “Bynum is expected to be available on a limited basis at the start of training camp and make a full recovery by the start of the regular season.” Guess not. I’ll have more on Bynum in an upcoming column, but that’s the gist of it. Would love to get a Bynum-less and Mbenga- less Laker team on our season opener.
