Andrew Bynum Improving Conditioning To Play Consistently

Feb 28, 2014 1:19 PM

Andrew Bynum practiced three-on-three with the Indiana Pacers this week, and Frank Vogel is optimistic the veteran center will be able to play soon.

"The goal is to get him to the point where he's able to play every night," Vogel said. "We don't want him to play one game and sit three games."

Bynum signed with the Pacers as a free agent Feb. 1 and last played Dec. 26 for the Cleveland Cavaliers.

"We know what we can expect from him when he's healthy and in shape. He's one of the best centers in the NBA," Vogel said. "We've seen flashes of that in practice that he's shown here."

Nene suffered a left knee injury in Sunday night's win over the Cleveland Cavaliers and will undergo an MRI on Monday to determine the severity of the ailment.
