The Los Angeles Lakers' starting center in Andrew Bynum is out due to a strained tendon. Previous reports of a torn left Achilles' tendon are not true. He strained his tendon early in the third quarter of the defending NBA champions’ win over Minnesota on Friday night.
This is certainly sad news for the Lakers as they try to build momentum going into the playoffs. Last season was a similar story with Bynum who also came from an injury.
“An Achilles’ or a leg injury is something you can’t really stay in great shape with,” Jackson said. “Taking off and landing, all your power moves, are something you’re going to have to adjust.”
Though the injury is not so serious, his team needs him for his size and defense. Leave the offense to Kobe and the other casts and everything should be fine.
