No News on Andrew Bynum…Yet

Lakers center Andrew Bynum suffered an injury after colliding with guard Kobe Bryant Saturday against the Memphis Grizzlies and is scheduled for an MRI exam today, but the doctor scheduled to review the results won’t arrive in New York until nighttime. Independent knee specialist David Altchek didn’t return home from a trip in Florida in time to read the results by last night and so the Lakers won’t find out the extent of the damage to Bynum’s sprained right knee until today.

Bynum underwent the exam at the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York, the same hospital where the doctor performed Bynum’s season-ending surgery on his other knee Sunday morning without Altchek in attendance. Today the team will find out how long Bynum will be out and tonight the Lakers will play the New York Knicks.
