Andrew Bynum has revealed he’s had a setback in his return from his knee injury. The former Lakers center was acquired by the 76ers this off-season but is yet to appear in any games for the franchise as he rehabs from a bone bruise on his knee, now the 7-footer admits he’s not sure if he’ll be cleared to resume basketball duties on December 10th as previously thought. Bynum now said he has swelling and a bone bruise on both knees.
“I had a little bit of a setback,” Bynum said. “Just working through some issues with the right knee, I kind of have a mirror thing going on with the left knee. I don’t know what’s going on. The doctors are saying it’s a weakened cartilage state, so we kind of wait, I guess. We can’t do anything. I just have to wait for the cartilage to get strong.
“It’s the same exact spot (as the right knee) with the cartilage, just doing routine things and it started swelling up. No blunt-force injury or anything like that. It’s the same timetable still.”
