Andrew Bynum (knee) admitted that he does not want to play through pain. "I'm 25. It's my life," Bynum said. Considering the lack of cartilage in his right knee and his degenerative condition, he may not have a choice. But fighting through pain for an atrocious Sixers team is not on Bynum's agenda -- even if it could affect his impending unrestricted free agency. "If I am healthy, then I'll get a deal," Bynum said. "But I have to be able to play. I need to get to the point with my body that I'm able to play. However long that takes." At this point, it would be a shock if Bynum plays in a single game this season.
