Memphis, TN (Sports Network) - Los Angeles Lakerscenter Andrew Bynum left in the first quarter of Saturday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies with a knee injury.
Bynum had to be helped off the court after the injury and is not expected to return.
Entering the game averaging 14.2 points and 8.4 rebounds this season, Bynum has become a force as of late, scoring 27 points in Friday's win over Minnesota as part of five straight double-doubles. The 7-footer was forced to miss the entire second half of last season and the playoffs after suffering a partially dislocated kneecap last January -- also against Memphis.
