Free-agent center Andrew Bynum has decided to provide medical reports to all NBA teams interested in signing him, but has refused to workout for them, according to his agent David Lee.
Lee told Yahoo! Sports that Bynum will start training in July with the focus being on the 2013-14 season, after missing the entire 2012-13 season in his first year with the Philadelphia 76ers because of knee problems that required multiple surgeries.
Lee has also said that there are a "half dozen teams" who have already expressed their interest in signing the 25-year-old all-start center, and that those teams will receive reports on Bynum's MRI and other procedures.
Bynum came to Philadelphia in the four-team trade that landed Dwight Howard in Los Angeles, but failed to play a single game for the 76ers.
Earlier in the year team president Rod Thorn called Andrew Bynum's injury situation "bizarre", but has confirmed that the insurance would reimburse the franchise for at least a portion of the All-Star center's $16.9 million salary this season.
"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."
