Bynum's "minor" surgery scheduled for July 28th.

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

Psh, surgery for a miniscus tear is nothing at all

Shouldn’t take more than a week tops really

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

Need to see a specialist about it.
