76ers' Bynum could be out until January

Philadelphia 76ers centre Andrew Bynum is expected to be out 5-8 more weeks with a knee injury, according to a team release.

From 76ers general manager Tony DiLeo.

"We know that Sixers fans are eager to see Andrew Bynum play and shine in a 76ers uniform. We also know that no one is more eager to see Andrew play for the Sixers than Andrew himself. He fully realizes the key contribution he can make to the team. Hopefully, that day is coming soon."

Bynum, who first injured his knee in September of 2012, is not expected to resume normal basketball activity until December 10th.

He was acquired from the Lakers along with Jason Richardson as part of the four-team deal that sent Dwight Howard to Los Angeles.
