Despite a report on the contrary earlier this week, Andrew Bynum could very well return to the court for the Lakers before the playoffs, according to ESPN.com.

Phil Jackson claims that Bynum could return by the beginning of April, after saying on Tuesday that he wouldn't return before the postseason.

"I threw that out there [Tuesday] to kind of take everything off the table," Jackson told the Los Angeles Times. "We're [now] saying it was three weeks as of [last] Sunday. It would give him a week -- four games, three games."
