Andrew Bynum probably won’t make his Sixers debut until January

The Philadelphia 76ers on Monday once again pushed back the expected return date of center Andrew Bynum, marking the third time in less than two months that an ETA on Philly's prized offseason acquisition has been scrapped as a result of persistent complications resulting from a bone bruise in his right knee.

Bynum was diagnosed with the bone bruise one day before the start of Philadelphia's preseason training camp, after he'd made an offseason trip to Germany to undergo Orthokine treatment aimed at stimulating the healing process in his arthritic knees, both of which have undergone injuries and surgical repair in the past.

No wonder the orlando magic didn't want this cat, props to the Lakers doctors for knowing this guy was about to fall apart. Sixers look like they took an L.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's statue is an overdue honor


By Eric Pincus

November 16, 2012, 3:11 p.m.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar will finally be honored with a statue outside of Staples Center on Friday, before the Lakers host the Phoenix Suns.

It's easy to forget just how amazing Abdul-Jabbar was as a player, especially for younger generations who never had a chance to see him in person. His devastating sky hook was one of the most unstoppable moves of all-time. It's a wonder no one else has been able to master it.

Abdul-Jabbar won six NBA titles, five with the Lakers and one with the Milwaukee Bucks.

Magic Johnson won five titles, none without Abdul-Jabbar.

Listed at 7-foot-2, Abdul-Jabbar finished with 38,387 points, still a record. The closest active player is Kobe Bryant, with 29,695, short by 8,692 points.

In his 20 seasons, Abdul-Jabbar averaged 24.6 points on 55.9% shooting, 11.2 boards and 2.6 blocked shots. Unlike many big men to follow, he was a dependable free-throw shooter at 72.1%.

Shaquille O'Neal might have been the Lakers' most physically imposing center, but Abdul-Jabbar was far more skilled, finishing with six NBA MVP awards and 19 All-Star appearances. He was selected to the All-NBA first team 10 times and was enshrined in the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 1995.
