Andrew Bynum was suspended Friday for his Flagrant 2 against Minnesota Timberwolve, Michael Beasley. Late in the fourth quarter Beasley made a move to the basket across the baseline. The mild tempered Andrew Bynum then sent Beasley a message with a flagrant 2 foul. He clearly came up without making a basketball move and seemlessly throwing an elbow which ended in Beasley hitting the floor. Beasley was able to get up due to his adrenaline but soon left the game with a bruised hip. The NBA gave Bynum a two game suspension without pay, he was set to make about 250,000 dollars in salary over the stretch. Lakers play the Trail Blazers and Suns in his absence. A Laker fan should look at it in a different sense, taking that it will give Bynum a rest, taking he recently stated he had felt fluid in his knee. He will continue play Friday against their in city rivals, the Los Angeles Clippers.
