More on the latest developments from John Mitchell of the Philadelphia Inquirer: “An MRI exam conducted Tuesday on Andrew Bynum’s knees revealed even more problems for the 76ers center, Bynum said. The results showed new developments: cartilage swelling in both knees and a bone bruise in his left knee, he said. Bynum previously had been diagnosed with a bone bruise in his right knee. On Tuesday, Bynum visited David W. Altchek, an orthopedic surgeon at the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York. Before Friday’s game with Utah, Bynum said he had experienced a setback in his rehab, which the Sixers hope will make him available to play by the middle of January. Bynum said there has been no adjustment to his timetable for a return. “I had a little bit of a setback and we’re just working through some issues with the right knee,” said Bynum, who has yet to practice with the Sixers since being acquired in August. “I kind of have a mirror thing going on with my left knee. I don’t know what’s going on, but the doctors are saying pretty much that it’s a weakened cartilage state.” Bynum, a former all-star with the Los Angeles Lakers who said he has never had cartilage problems before, had the MRI done on independent of the Sixers. Bynum, 25, apparently sprang the news and the results of his examination on the team. About a half hour after Bynum spoke in front of his locker stall, Sixers general manager Tony DiLeo had no more information available concerning the results of Bynum’s examination.
