Andrew Bynum is slowly, but surely continuing to make improvements to his health.  Just last week the center was able to start exercising on a treadmill to regain strength in his injured right knee.  Two weeks ago Bynum began doing cardio and is continuing to grow stronger.  

Although he is still not able to play or practice, this is a big step from his serious injury last month during a game against Memphis.  All of this comes as good news to the Lakers and a bit of a surprise to fans.  Just a few weeks ago coach Phil Jackson made a statement saying that he was not interested in making comments about Bynum’s progress, which led many to believe that the injury was more serious than previously thought.  

More recently, Bynum has been open with reports, telling them that he is growing stronger each day and is eager to get back on the court.  

Jackson has started to open up a little more recently and made this statement after a game against Golden State.  “Right now Andrew is, it looks like, a month away, and that’s like the end of the season. This is a from a guy who has been watching players recover and not a trainer, and certainly not a physical therapist, but I think he’s still a month away from being a player.”

Throughout the entire process, Bynum has been nothing but positive, and looking forward to rejoining the team as he is a big asset.
