Even though he hasn't yet played a minute this season, Andrew Bynum managed to incur a lane violation - a bowling lane violation. Bynum confessed that while recovering from a right knee injury, he hurt his left knee on Saturday at an alley, possibly pushing back his return even further and into 2013. The Sixers, who brought in Bynum via a blockbuster trade, have a history of buying bum big men. In 2008, the team signed Elton Brand, despite him coming off an 8-game season, severely shortened by an Achilles injury. Brand never regained his All-Star form in Philadelphia and was released in July. At least in this case, the team hasn't committed to Bynum, who's in the final year of his contract. Still, you can find less damaged goods at the bottom of a Black Friday bin.
Bynum believes bowling wasn't more rigorous than rehab, which could be true, but plunking pins is still a pinhead move that'll make Philly fans want to tear out their - and also his - hair*. We don't know how good a bowler Bynum is; the center may be able to pick up a spare, but the Sixers can't pick up a spare center.
*We suspected the fifth Beatle was a brotha.
