Andrew Bynum (knee) confirmed that he came out of Wednesday's 104-85 win over the Timberwolves without any complications. "My knee feels really, really good right now," he said. Bynum looked great with 13 points, 13 boards and three blocks in 34 minutes and should be started in all lineups as long as he's healthy.

Andrew Bynum (knee) did everything but scrimmage in Tuesday's practice. Bynum received a preventative injection in his right knee last Friday and played just five minutes in the All-Star game. Skipping the scrimmage Tuesday was more simple maintenance. "I'm all good," said Bynum, who will start Wednesday's game against the Wolves.

Andrew Bynum (knee) said he plans to play in Wednesday's game against the Wolves. Bynum only played the first 5:31 of the All-Star game, but he said that was planned. He received a preventative injection in his troublesome knee on Saturday. "It was just the way we had to do it for this to work. I'm getting the first plane out of here [Sunday] and we have Monday off." Bynum has not missed a game due to injury this season and is also averaging a career-high 34.6 minutes.

Andrew Bynum started Sunday's All-Star Game, but left early with knee soreness and will not return. Outside of simply not playing at all, this is the most his fantasy owners could hope for. Bynum had a Synvisc injection on Friday, and it's a little surprising the Lakers even allowed him to play. Indications are that the treatment is preventative and the plan is for him to continue to play through it. Hopefully it doesn't become a bigger issue than it already has.

Andrew Bynum said that the Synvisc injection that will receive on Friday is a preventative measure. Bynum compared the injection to "putting oil on a creaky hinge." He said he is experiencing "a little pain," but it doesn't sound like there is anything to worry about, especially if he plays in the All-Star Game, as planned, on Sunday night.

Andrew Bynum will receive a Synvisc injection in his right knee on Friday and remains on track to play in the All-Star game. Bynum made it through the first half healthy and wants to ensure he stays on the court. Dr. David Altcheck will perform the injection, and Synvisc is a natural substance that serve as as a lubricant. Owners have no reason to worry here and Bynum will pick back up out of the break with impressive averages of 16.3 points, 12.8 rebounds and 2.0 blocks on 55.4 percent shooting.

Kobe Bryant was efficient with 28 points on 13-of-26 shooting (including a three) with three rebounds, three assists, and four steals, and Pau Gasol had 16 points with 12 rebounds, four assists, and a block in the win.

Andrew Bynum had 16 points, 10 rebounds and four blocks in only 28 minutes on Sunday, as the Lakers lost in disappointing fashion to the Suns. Pau Gasol chipped in 17 points, 12 rebounds and six assists, and Kobe scored 32 points, but that was about it for L.A. The rest of the team combined for a mere 23 points, and barring a trade the Lakers don't seem to have enough depth to get deep into the playoffs.
