Bynum wouldn't help with the perimeter defense, but the team's top shot blocker could help shore up the interior. Bynum said he is "very happy" with his recovery from a torn ligament in his right knee and he thinks he is ahead of schedule.
"I'm hoping [to return in] two to three more weeks," Bynum said. "But they said it could go four or five. It feels fine to me. Forward, backward motion is fine."
He said he has difficulty with lateral motion right now, but there is no swelling in the knee and he hasn't experienced any setbacks.
