For the first time since January, Andrew Bynum traveled with the Lakers on Sunday night when they battled the Kings, according to the Los Angeles Times.

He didn't play on Sunday and won't take the floor against Portland on Tuesday, but he's inching closer to his return.

"My knee got a little bit swollen from the flight, but other than that, everything went all right," Bynum said.

Phil Jackson claims that there is absolutely no urgency to play Bynum with a playoff spot clinched.

"There's absolutely none now that we've clinched a spot in the playoffs," Jackson said. "We're just not going to be forced to do that."
