Los Angeles Lakers center Andrew Bynum has been officially diagnosed with a hyper-extended right knee and an MRI is scheduled for Wednesday to get a look at the severity of the injury. Bynum went down awkwardly during the second quarter of the Tuesday's game against the San Antonio Spurs and stayed down in what appeared to be a significant amount of pain. As Bynum turned to get in a defensive stance, he stepped on Da'Juan Blair's foot while in full stride, forcing his knee to bend in an awkward angle.

Bynum headed straight to the locker room for further evaluation, though he did leave on his own power. General manager Mitch Kupchak left his seats to join Bynum in the locker room as Lakers’ personnel showed concern about both Bynum and, perhaps, the team’s chances in the playoffs should the injury be severe.
