Andrew Bynum (knees) was at practice with the team on Monday. He hasn't been with the team and it's unlikely he was able to take on most of the activity. Bynum had ice on both of his knees and he's not likely to be be ready to start the season on time. Draft him at your own risk.

Tyler Zeller had his appendix removed on Friday after being diagnosed with acute appendicitis. Appendectomies are relatively straight-forward procedures, but all surgery has risks and the Cavaliers haven't provided a timetable for Zeller's recovery. If his absence extends into the regular season, there'd be a bit more breathing room for Anderson Varejao, Tristan Thompson, Anthony Bennett and possibly Andrew Bynum.

Andrew Bynum (knees) was limited in Tuesday's practice. He still hasn't been cleared for contact and spent much of practice working on his post moves. Bynum said he's "definitely" going to play on Monday and while it's nice to see he's progressing, he still could miss the opener. It'll take a little slice of crazy to draft him, but he could be a value pick in the last few rounds of drafts.

Andrew Bynum (knees) said that he's "definitely" playing this year. "I felt like my approach had to change," Bynum said. "I have to be more of a professional now than ever. Before I might come in and work out really hard and it might take an hour-and-a-half or two." Usually, a statement like this wouldn't be news, but it wouldn't be an absolute shock to see Bynum on the sidelines all year. He still doesn't have a timetable to return and has lost 18 pounds over the summer. The former Sixer Laker will be a risky pick in the second round of drafts.

Andrew Bynum began basketball activities in the past two weeks, but his return date remains uncertain. Bynum said that he will "definitely" play this season. He's just not sure when that will be. Fantasy owners who witnessed last year's sequence of fruitless injury updates will be understandably jaded about his return date, and we recommend avoiding him on draft day.

Andrew Bynum (knee) is still without a timetable to return, according to Cavs GM Chris Grant. Grant added Bynum has made significant progress and has been working hard. The news on the injured center has resembled a broken record and there hasn't been any clear indicator when we'll see him on the court. The former Laker is not expected to play in training camp, so we wouldn't pass on proven assets in the middle rounds of drafts to take a chance on such a giant question mark.

Andrew Bynum (knees) still hasn't been cleared for contact. Bynum has reportedly been working out in Cleveland since July, and he's recently been running on treadmills, but it's anyone's guess when he'll be cleared for basketball activities. Fantasy owners should view him with extreme skepticism until we've seen him on the court.

Sam Amico is reporting that Andrew Bynum (knees) is not expected to participate in training camp or play in the preseason for the Cavaliers. Here we go again. Bynum, who missed all of last season with numerous knee issues and only made it through one practice, doesn't sound close to being ready for game action. We weren't really expecting any miracles, but given all the time he's had to get right, the news is disappointing. The Cavs are determined to keep Bynum out of uniform until he's fully healthy, and while that could be as soon as opening night (Oct. 30), he's going to be extremely rusty when he does eventually play. At this point, you're probably better off letting someone else draft him.

Andrew Bynum (knee) said that his rehab has "all been green" and is on schedule to make a return. He added that he has "no idea what the schedule's going to be" and has moved in the right direction every day. Bynum missed all of last season and didn't work out for the Cavs before they signed him to a two-year deal, so it's good to see that he's making progress. He was one of the best centers in fantasy hoops just two seasons ago, so he makes sense as a high-risk, high-reward pick later in drafts.

Andrew Bynum has been working out in Cleveland "nearly every day since he signed," according to the Plain Dealer. The extent of the workouts is not yet known, but considering that he didn't do any sort of activity during his attempt to be signed in free agency, Bynum probably isn't doing much. He has the inside track to be the starting center for the Cavs, which should push Anderson Varejao to the bench. Of course, it's hard assume he's going to be healthy.
