Bynum a Month Away?

Lakers coach Phil Jackson echoed recent comments by Andrew Bynum, saying that the center is still a month away from returning to the court.

With Los Angeles closing up their regular season on April 14, that means Bynum wouldn't return until the postseason.

"I would say he's still like a month away from being a player," Jackson said. "And if he had to do that in the postseason, then he's going to have to do it. That's just part of it. It's going to change how he comes back obviously."

Bynum suffered a torn MCL in his right knee on Jan. 31 against Memphis.
