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.
