Bynum\u2019s MRI on Wednesday showed only a bone bruise in his troublesome right

\nwhen the Lakers open their chase of a third straight title.<\/p>\n

Bynum hyperextended his knee during the second quarter of Los Angeles\u2019 win
\nover San Antonio on Tuesday night. After stepping on DeJuan Blair\u2019s<\/a>(notes)<\/a><\/span> foot, Bynum
\nfell awkwardly to the court.<\/p>\n

Bynum missed the first 24 games of the season while recovering from
\noffseason surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his knee. A bone bruise in his
\nleft knee forced him to miss a game in February.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p>\n
