Andrew Bynum had 23 points, 16 rebounds and two assists in Sunday's overtime win over the Mavs.
Coach Mike Brown thought about holding Bynum out due to an upper respiratory infection, but the big man insisted on playing through it. He shot just 9-for-24 from the field and didn't block a shot. Still, with Kobe Bryant (shin) sidelined, Bynum acted as the offensive focal point once again. He's posted four double-doubles in his last five games.

Andrew Bynum will play through an upper respiratory infection in Sunday's game against the Mavs.
Bynum is feeling a little under the weather, but is starting. We doubt it will limit his minutes today. Over the last five games, Bynum is averaging a dominant 21.2 points, 14.8 rebounds and 1.6 blocks.

Andrew Bynum scored 30 points on 11-of-19 shooting with eight rebounds, three assists, one steal, and three blocks in the Lakers' win on Friday.
Bynum didn't do anything stupid that we're aware of tonight, which is a refreshing change of pace. Pau Gasol scored 14 points with 10 boards, five assists, three blocks, and six turnovers in the win.

Andrew Bynum was ejected for getting two technical fouls in the Lakers' 112-107 loss to the Rockets on Friday, and finished with 19 points on 6-of-11 shooting, seven rebounds, two blocks, and five turnovers in 30 minutes.
Bynum got his first tech for skirmishing with Samuel Dalembert and his second for taunting the Rockets bench early in the fourth quarter. We've heard reports that he's an intelligent guy, but his attitude is garbage. All kidding aside, DeMarcus Cousins has a much better attitude right now than both Bynum and Dwight Howard -- and it's not even close.

Andrew Bynum admitted that his sprained ankle is still bothering him "a bit."
Bynum had 36 points, eight rebounds and four blocks against the Clippers on Wednesday, and there is nothing to suggest Bynum is in danger of missing any further time. The Lakers host the Rockets on Friday.

Andrew Bynum returned from his sprained ankle and had 36 points, eight rebounds, a steal, four blocks and zero 3-pointers in Wednesday's win over the Clippers.
Just because he didn't hit a three doesn't mean he didn't shoot one, as he fired another one up despite coach Mike Brown. Bynum was fined and benched last week, basically for defying authority, and along with Serge Ibaka's lack of playing time this year, Bynum's insistence on shooting the long ball just makes no sense. But he was a beast tonight and owners should get him back into lineups immediately.

Andrew Bynum (ankle) will start on Wednesday night when the Lakers take on the Clippers.
Bynum tested his ankle out prior to the game and didn't encounter any problems. He said all along he would try and play against the Lakers cross-town rival, and he didn't disappoint. Get him in your fantasy lineups.

Andrew Bynum (ankle) will be a game-time decision on Wednesday against the Clippers.
The Lakers are not holding a shootaround prior to Wednesday's game and that's likely because the team just played against the Nets on Tuesday. Bynum previously said that he would try to play, but owners will have to check back for another update to see whether or not Bynum will be in the starting lineup. Josh McRoberts would likely get another start if Bynum is unable to play.

Andrew Bynum (ankle) said that he'll try to play on Wednesday against the Clippers.
"I feel good, but I don't know. I'm going to try," Bynum said. Owners will have to check back for an update following shootaround to see if the big man will be able to give it a go against the Clippers. If he's unable to start, Josh McRoberts would likely slide into the starting lineup once again. McBob had four points and five rebounds in Tuesday's win over the Nets.

Andrew Bynum (ankle) reportedly said he won't play in Tuesday's game against the Nets.
The Lakers have officially listed Bynum as a game-time call, but ESPN Los Angeles caught up with him at his car after shootaround. "I can't play," Bynum said while wearing tape around his left ankle. "Hopefully (Wednesday against the Clippers)." Look for either Troy Murphy or Josh McRoberts to draw the start Tuesday, with Pau Gasol also getting a boost in minutes.
