Fans of the Los Angeles Lakers have held out hope that Andrew Bynum would return at some point during the 2008 NBA playoffs. However, now even Bynum is saying that he doesn’t see that happening.
“I doubt there’s going to be a comeback this year,” Bynum told the LA Times. “I’ve got to get my knee straight. At this point, I’d have to train for a good month just to be able to go out there and play.”
“It’s frustrating because I can do everything but what pertains to basketball — running and jumping, defensive slides.”
It’s officially safe to give up on Bynum returning this season. At first he was schedule to return at some point in April, however now it’s all but certain that he won’t be playing basketball against until next year’s training camp.
Bynum’s Lakers will play the Utah Jazz in the second round of the playoffs. Fantasy basketball superstar Kobe Bryant and Lakers swept the Denver Nuggets, while the Jazz beat the Houston Rockets in six games. The Lakers won three of four games against the Jazz in the regular season.
