Around SBN: All Hail David Luiz

For those of you wondering as to what happened to Bynum's surgery (initially reported to be on July 18 - supposedly it was delayed because his surgeon did not have any earlier openings), here's some info. This surgery is for a minor meniscus tear, not any tendons or fractures, and thus complications are unlikely.

From the piece:
"Fortunately for Bynum and the Lakers, his Achilles is fully healed, and he’s confident that recovery from the minor knee surgery won’t cut into his offseason plan to improve his core strength, footwork and finishing moves."

Sounds all good.

Lakers spokesman says timetable for recovery will be known after the procedure, but ‘supposedly he’ll be 100% by training camp’ in late September.

bah… why even bother, he is just going to get injured again next season….. as much as i know im kididng, the fact that he has yet to have an impactful season without getting injured is not comforting

In Kobe we trust!

I'm pretty sure I have a meniscus tear myself, very minor one.

Need to see a specialist about it.

If the Lakers can get this next year and the post season

of Bynum showing his full potential injury free I would be happy. He seems unstopable at times.

Is the surgery a repair of the meniscus, or a shaving of it off?

Reason for the delay

Apparently was not due to “laziness” of Bynum, but a schedule clash of the doctor. I guess 10 days’ wait is worth it, given it is to get a good doctor to do the job
