I can't wait to hear how much of a warrior he is and how the Lakers are demonstrating how serious they are about winning a championship because they are playing injured players. :devilwink:

"Andrew's preparing to play," Lakers coach Phil Jackson told reporters before the game Sunday. "He's come in, he's doing some therapy and he's going to activate himself and he's going to try to work through it."
Bynum missed the final 13 games of the regular season with a strained left Achilles tendon and when he returned for the start of the playoffs, Jackson targeted a 24-minute limit for the 7-footer. But Bynum ended up averaging 29.8 minutes in the six-game series against Oklahoma City.
The Lakers may have to monitor Bynum's minutes against Utah on Sunday.
"If he's limited in what he can do, if his ability to run full out is going to be something that's going to hamper him, we'll have to measure that," Jackson said.
Bynum suffered the injury in the first half of the Lakers' 95-94 first round series-clinching win on Friday against the Thunder while fighting for rebounding position against Nenad Krstic. The fifth-year veteran played 12 minutes in the second half after sustaining the injury.

Did he tear it many months ago? He may have aggravated it in Game 6, but its not like he had surgery last Saturday.

Sorry if I ruined your sensationalized post.
 
I want to see how much Chuckie B goes on about how foolish it is for PJax and the Lakers to risk letting him play.

Go Blazers

Don't worry you couldn't if you tried :-) Just sayin that was a weak attempt. They know he just increased the tear, and yet they are still going to play him.
