Andrew Bynum of the Los Angeles Lakers underwent surgery on his right knee and the surgery was announced successful by the team on Wednesday. Bynum had an arthroscopic procedure to repair the torn meniscus of his right knee in New York by Dr. David Altcheck.
On June 22, the 22-year-old Laker has his knee drained of fluid initially incurred this injury during the first round of the playoff series in Game 6 against OKC in April. With the decision to postpone surgery, he was still a part of all the 23 postseason games with the Lakers as a starter despite his injury. He recorded an average of 6.9 rebounds and 8.6 points per game in addition to 1.57 blocks per game, which helped lead Los Angeles to their second consecutive NBA championship title.
The center appeared in 65 games of the regular season with the Lakers this past season during which he recorded 8.3 boards and 15 points per game.
Bynum is expected to join the team at training camp when it commences on September 25 but with a limited role. The Lakers are traveling to Europe for exhibition games in both London and Barcelona but sources have not confirmed whether Bynum will participate.
Regardless of his limited role in training camp, the 22-year-old center is expected to have a successful recovery and be ready to start the regular season. He will be rehabilitating his knee for the next six to eight weeks.
