Lakers big men Bynum and Gasol likely out Friday against Memphis

Andrew Bynum's injured right elbow isn't as bad as originally thought, but he still might not play tonight against the Memphis Grizzlies.

I really hope Gasol and Bynum get better soon, even though Bynum is already playing he still needs a little more time to recover. Bynum and Gasol are a big contrubution to the Lakers and the Lakers are in need of them.

Tke L. A. Lakers team have the talent and the guys to play good basketball . It is all up to them on how they will handle each team as they play them . They know better that there is no room for underestimating other teams since they too can lose at any given game and any given time . Disciplie and hard work will always payoff and with the good leadership of Kobe , Derek & Lamar : they'll be alright for sure . Just play the game with passion and also not to forget to have FUN during the game . Go Lakers Go !!! 2009 NBA Champs !!!

Typical Celtic fan. I guess you cannot add kid. You are 6-0, not 7-0. It doesn't matter anyway because the east is weaker than the west except for the Cavs and Orlando. 90% of the teams on the east coast couldn't beat the Clippers. Lakers Celtics final with the Lakers in 6.

I sorry but DJ is not that good! Odom plays when HE wants to not when it's needed which is always! I Don't know why Phil keeps Odom on the team, He could do better with a rookie!!!

GO LAKERS!!

[john john]

the lakers have not given farmar or morrison an contract extension as of yet for next season,who are they looking to sign to replace them or are they looking to make some trades for the two.

[AceJenk]

Give Shanon Brown more playing time. He is more productive off the bench than Farmar or Vuichich

[AceJenk]

Give Shanon Brown more minutes. He's the most productive player off the bench!

[geraw]

that's what champions do win by any means..this is the Jordan test, now we will see if Koby iz as good or better than Micheal Jordan and if coach Phil Jackson iz the best coach ever and if the new millennium Lakers are better than the showtime Lakers .Redemption2010 for those sorry ass Celtics.....GOOOOOO LAKERS!!!

[The Laker Truth]

The Lakers have to rebuild the bench while the season is still young. Shannon Brown is ok, Luke doen't start playing until the playoffs start, I would like to see what Adam Morrison can do maybe he can gain more value by playing him more can use him as trade bait, get rid of Jordan Farmar he is a liabilty, trade Sasha for some peanuts..

[Joel]

If Phil Jackson starts and plays crazy line-ups throughout the game the lakers will lose or struggle. By crazy line-ups i mean, luke,artest,jordan,brown or odom,artest,kobe,fisher,brown or luke,vujacic,farmar, and brown. If you see any of those line-ups i guarantee they will struggle. I know bynum and gasol are out. But he needs to play Mbenga and Powell (and Powell at the 4 as much as possible i know he's going to have to play him at the 5 some). Other than powell, he needs to keep the other players in their position as much as possible. Luke never plays well at the 4 and Sasha is not a small forward. Keep artest at the 3 as much as possible and if artest plays at the 4 make sure kobe is in the game at the 2 or 3.

Those biased refrees who officiated last two away games against Lakers should all be SUSPENDED without pay and send back to school to relearn how to officiate games correctly.
As for Bynum, at 22/23, who can't even get off the ground to DUNK the ball is just absolutely PATHETIC. Where is his freaking STAMINA??? What a waste for being a 7 footer! Other players who played just as many minutes or more as he did still played faster, harder, and were able to dunk at their will.
Lakers should let Shannon Brown play the center position, at least he can DUNK!!!

Bynum is more needed than Gasol.
