Philadelphia 76ers center Andrew Bynum was a reported no-show for the team photo Thursday because he was busy rehabbing his surgically repaired knees.
Bynum hasn't played a game for the 76ers this season and has been more known this season for his bizarre hairstyles more than his actual play on the court.
Bynum was acquired in a four team trade and he was expected to be the missing piece for the 76ers to help push them over the top in the Eastern Conference. His contract expires at the end of the season and since he won't play a single game this season, it will be interesting to see the market for the talented center.
But with his future up in the air, team president Rod Thorn confirmed that the franchise has established some type of insurance for Bynum's "bizarre" injury situation.
"There is a league-wide insurance that he's under that gives you some relief along those lines," Thorn said before the Sixers played the Miami Heat on Wednesday at the Wells Fargo Center. "It's the same league-wide program that every player's under. Unless you have a pre-existing condition - and he didn't - so he's on the same one as everybody else.
"It's a little bizarre, there's no doubt about it. He's had problems. He's worked very hard. As you can see when you see him, he's huge. His upper body, he works in the weight room, he works hard, he just hasn't been able to play. It's been very tough for him and obviously it's been very tough for us."
Bynum is set to become an unrestricted free agent in July, where he'll be eligible to land a long-term deal worth a nine-figure payday.
