It's official: Bynum will play

Andrew Bynum will make his return to the active roster tonight against the Denver Nuggets. The Lakers' center is expected to start for the first time since suffering a torn medial collateral ligament in his right knee Jan. 31 against the Memphis Grizzlies. How much he plays remains to be seen, but Lakers coach Phil Jackson said he probably would remove the 7-footer at the first TV timeout, which normally comes about six minutes into a game.
