MVN.comAndrew Bynum has been cleared to practice, play and ask for a max extension. His agent, David Lee (not the Knicks power forward), issued this statement, “The knee looks wonderful and we are anticipating that within a short period of time, he will start training,” Lee said. “The doctors told him the knee was doing better than expected.”
They also said that he doesn’t have any pain or swelling and that follow-up visits were not needed. Andrew will stay in New York for the next two weeks, before heading to Atlanta to work with his personal trainer Sean Zarzana.

Remember when he first injured the knee he said this, “I’m not in too much pain, only when I bend it,” Bynum said. “I don’t think it’s serious at all. I can move it left and right. Just to take a step forward is the only thing that really hurts. I never heard a pop.” That was before he was diagnosed and told he was out eight weeks.
