Bynum Could Be Out Until March With Rest, One Year With Surgery

[ChosenOne]

Andrew Bynum's agent continues to keep the specifics of his client's knee issue a secret.

 

All of the publicly available information on Bynum suggests a probable diagnosis of osteochondral lesions says one of the nation's top orthopedic surgeons, a condition that may keep Bynum out for the season.

 

The condition could heal on its own within four to six months, but that would keep Bynum out until March or April.

 

The surgeon said that surgery could keep him from playing for up to a year.

 

Bynum should know whether he needs surgery by December.

 

The surgeon spoke on condition of anonymity because Bynum is not his patient.

I'll wait until I hear it from the doctor who actually knows something about Bynum's knees.

I agree, but just be prepared for the worst.

I am well prepared. Expecting the worst for sure. This particular report seems a bit strange to me though. Just not totally sure how an uninformed doctor can make a diagnosis like that based only on the reports the Sixers are releasing, which are likely far from the truth anyway. But yeah, it certainly doesn't seem good.
