A player of the one of the NBA's most loved franchises, Center Andrew Bynum was drafted by the Los Angeles Lakers in 2005 - at 17 years old. And despite various injuries to his knees, his career continues to soar. 


In the second quarter of a Lakers’ game in April against the San Antonio Spurs, Andrew fell after stepping on Spurs’ DeJuan Blair’s foot.  He was then sidelined with a knee injury,  




Bynum ended up hyper-extending his knee and had to leave the game. His coach, Phil Jackson, recommended that he might need to be out for the next few games since this was not his first knee injury.
