Fresh off a meeting with President Obama, the Lakers aim to make it four straight wins in the capitol. Andrew Bynum is back from knee surgery, making his first appearance of the season.
Lakers Vs. Wizards: Andrew Bynum Returns, Fares Well In Limited Minutes
The Lakers’ 103-89 win over the Washington Wizards on Tuesday night was more significant than your run-of-the-mill win because it marked the return of Andrew Bynum from injury. Bynum had offseason knee surgery and missed the first 24 games of the season due to a slow recovery, but he was back in the lineup on Tuesday, playing 17 minutes off the bench.
His production wasn’t particularly impressive: seven points on 1-5 shooting against a very weak Wizards front line. However, the Lakers did fare better with him on the floor, as he brought a presence in the middle the Lakers have not had much this season.
