Report: Andrew Bynum Works Out At Lakers Facility

Everybody is talking about the great comeback of Andrew Bynum. Is he really coming back to the Los Angeles Lakers?

The question is next. Will Bynum hold up after the major surgeries to his knees? How will he handle the long layoff?
ESPN’s analyst Paul Pierce mocked Bynum and his comeback announcement in a recent episode of The Jump.

“This is nothing. Let me tell you why. Because I mean the Andrew Bynum we saw before he left the game, cause the game doesn’t translate to what he does. You know. he was a back to the basket player really couldn’t shoot. I mean it doesn’t translate to today’s game. I have a better chance of probably coming back,” Pierce said.

The Lakers have three open slots for their training camp, so…
