Alright, I think it might be time to label him "injury-prone"

Bynum out anywhere from 2 to 6 weeks with a strained Achilles tendon.

Fantastic. Just what we needed gearing up for the playoffs. Thoughts?

Mad

Gasol and Odom need to step up I guess.

But whyyy Bynum, you were doing well. ):

Wait...I thought he was gonna be out for 6 games..
Thats what ESPN.com is saying...

But either way...noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo....
Knowing Bynum....he's gonna take forever to adjust back to the routine....
Hopefully everything works out though...

At least it's not season-ending, but it seems like every time Bynum's getting into top form, something derails it...urgh...

Andrew Bynum is a Jersey Kid and my favorite Laker and one of my favorite players in the NBA.

I hope he gets well and becomes an All-Star in this league. I love the kid and his game. Hope he can put it all together

Lakers are a very good/strong team so I am sure they will be able to make the necessary adjustments to their rotation while Bynum is out. My guess is that this won't affect them significantly.

I heard errrr why damn it Bynum .

Well Gasol complained about not getting more touches.... well Pau there you go now you got your wish do something with it .

I'm not ready to do that, but he is definitely making a case to be tagged as "injury-prone", my reason is the first 2 seasons he was out it was because someone rammed into his knee, this is the first season where Bynum's out because his body couldn't handle the length of the season.

the timing is really off because this is the period where the Lakers have to play well as an unit and it's disappointing that Bynum will miss it once again, on the plus side he should be well rested in the playoff when the Lakers really need his physical presence.

Not really.

It's only 6 games which is nothing compared to the time lost from the past two years.

Bigs tend to always have nagging injuries.
