Report: Bynum getting closer to making debut

The Philadelphia 76ers may have Andrew Bynum back in their lineup soon, after doctors injected lubrications in his knees to provide relief, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer. The team may see him resume basketball activities as soon as Sunday.

Bynum was acquired from Los Angeles in the blockbuster trade that sent Dwight Howard to the Lakers and moved Andre Iguodala from Philadelphia to Denver, but he has yet to suit up for the Sixers as he recovers from various knee ailments.

The 25-year-old has career averages of 11.7 points, 7.8 rebounds and 1.6 blocks, but enjoyed a career-best year with the Lakers last season, averaging 18.7 points, 11.8 rebounds and 1.9 blocks.
