Bynum has been out of the Los Angeles Lakers lineup since tearing an MCL ligament in his knee. Earlier this month, Lakers coach Phil Jackson said that Bynum was likely out for the rest of the regular season. As of late, Bynum has indicated that he’s close to returning to the NBA hardwood.

For fantasy basketball purposes, Bynum would be a risky play. Unless your team is desperate, it’s best to ignore Bynum for the rest of the season. If he plays, it will likely be from off the bench. The Lakers will take it slow and hope that their young center can peak late in the playoffs.

In the meantime, the Lakers will likely keep starting Pau Gasol and Lamar Odom. Eventually, Bynum could return to the starting lineup but that will probably have to wait until the playoffs.
