Bynum: “I’m probably about 85-90 percent”

Andrew Bynum said today what has been painfully obvious to everyone watching him play in the playoffs. His right knee is not 100 percent. The brace he’s been wearing to protect the damaged medial collateral ligament limits his mobility and jumping ability. He wore a neoprene sleeve over his brace in practice today because he said “people were getitng hit in the knee by it (the brace).” Of his knee, he said, “It’s just not ready. I’m probably about 85-90 percent. Coming back from an injury, It takes a while. (His lackluster play) is hurting the team and it’s something we’re doing to have to deal with.”
