Lakers' center Andrew Bynum updated the status of his injured knee in his latest blog entry on his personal website, AndrewBynum.com.

"For the past six weeks I?ve been here in Atlanta preparing for the upcoming season. The first couple of weeks were really to get my wind back and strengthen my leg. Wow was I out of shape, but fortunately it came back pretty fast," he wrote.

Bynum averaged 13.1 points and 10.2 rebounds per game for the Lakers in 35 games last season before the injury.

"I have my mile run back down in the low sixes, I?m playing way above the rime, dunking the ball like crazy, and my leg is 100% pain free with no swelling. My trainer, Dr. Sean Zarzana, has me doing all types of workouts from track, strength, balance, basketball, stretching and yoga," he continued. "All of the routines are extremely challenging, but I can feel my body returning to the form from."  

"We will be returning to LA in the next few days to continue these workouts, and I am really looking forward to practicing with the coaching staff and all of my teammates as well.  This week Mitch Kupchak and Jim Buss stopped in for a visit. They watched me go through an upper body/track workout."
