Andrew Bynum underwent successful knee surgery.

Bynum is out for the season and will enter free agency after not having played a single second in his first season with the Sixers. Because he's still young and can be a force when healthy, he'll garner plenty of interest on the open market, but it will certainly be interesting to see what kind of contracts he's offered.

The dual knee surgeries Andrew Bynum is undergoing Tuesday are arthroscopic.

When looked at in a vacuum, an arthroscopic procedure is not serious. It's just a clean-out designed to alleviate pain and swelling. But when taken in the context of Bynum's knee history, the scopes are significant. He's previously had major surgeries to repair a dislocated kneecap and torn cartilage, and then sustained a bone bruise this season. Any team signing Bynum as a free agent this summer will be taking a monumental risk. The Sixers paid him $16.5 million in 2012-13 and he played zero minutes.

Andrew Bynum will have season-ending surgery on both of his knees according to multiple reports.

This could very well be the end of his chapter in Philly, and in all reality the rest of his career playing basketball should be a question mark. His knees have serious issues that don't exactly go away for men of his size, and according to many sources with knowledge of his mindset his commitment to the game itself just isn't there. We'll wish him the best of luck getting his mind and body right but we're not betting on either to happen.

Sixers president Rod Thorn called Andrew Bynum's injury situation "bizarre."

It seems like Bynum is losing support within the Sixers organization pretty quickly as people are tired of waiting on him to heal. Thorn acknowledged that a portion of Bynum's salary would be paid by insurance, but his inability to get on the court has left a sour taste in the mouth of many. Thorn did say that Bynum has worked "very hard," but he remains out indefinitely and is still considering surgery.

Andrew Bynum (knee) is still visiting doctors to "best attempt to resolve his knee troubles," according to a Sixers team spokesperson.

The fact that Bynum doesn't have an idea of how to solve his knee issues at this point in the season indicates that not only is he highly unlikely to play this season, but also that his knee issues are anything but a thing of the past. Bynum hasn't spoken to the media in almost two weeks, and he already admitted there is no surgical procedure that would guarantee his knees be pain-free.

The Sixers don't have any new information on Andrew Bynum (knees), who saw Dr. David Altchek on Tuesday in New York.

"It's a late appointment," GM Tony DiLeo said when asked why there was no information available. "I think we're all trying to gather information and see what the best course of action is," he added. Bynum remains out indefinitely and is a long shot to play this year.
