Los Angeles Lakers center Andrew Bynum made his season debut against the Washington Wizards on Tuesday night. Bynum had been out after offseason surgery to repair a partially torn ligament in his right knee.
Bynum came off the bench and played 17 minutes. He scored seven points and grabbed four rebounds.
“I’m a little bit rusty,” Bynum told reporters after the game, according to the Los Angeles Times. “I’m just out there, starting fresh. It takes time but I’m glad the wait’s over.”
The 23-year-old Bynum averaged 15 points and 8.3 rebounds in 65 games last season.
“He’s going to get easy baskets just by the nature of his athleticism and his size,” Lakers coach Phil Jackson told reporters, according to the Los Angeles Times. “That’s important for us, the easy ones.”
