76ers To Sit Bynum Until He Has No Pain In Knee

Andrew Bynum continues to sit out training camp, putting off his debut with the Philadelphia 76ers in practice.

The 76ers will hold out Bynum until his knee is pain-free.

The team will hold five practices before their regular season opener against the Nuggets.

“It’s just a healing process,” Tony DiLeo said. “When it heals, it heals.”

DiLeo admitted the Sixers are being somewhat cautious with Bynum prior to the start of the 82-game regular season.

“I would play with pain,” Bynum said. “If it were up to me, I would play.”

Doug Collins declined to speculate when Bynum will be ready.

“I have no idea,” Collins said. “It’s all hypothetical. We’re not going to look over at (Bynum as) a lifeline. If this team feels like we can’t win without him, we won’t win.”
