Andrew Bynum Suffers Another Setback In Sixers Practice

Andrew Bynum suffered another setback to his Philadelphia 76ers debut while practicing with the team. Bynum, who is rehabbing a knee injury, took part in just a few minutes of practice with the team last week in a five-on-zero drill. 

This was the first time the center was able to practice with his new team since being acquired in a blockbuster trade this past summer. Bynum experienced swelling and discomfort in his right knee, he told Philly.com on Friday.

Bynum realizes there is a dwindling hope that he will actually be able to play for the 76ers this season, his only season under contract with the team. "It's getting late. I don't know [about playing this season]," Bynum said. "I don't want to play in pain. ... I'm 25, it's my life." 

The Sixers currently face a seven-game losing streak and find themselves six-games out of the final playoff spot in the Eastern conference with only 26 games remaining in the regular season.
