Larry Bird Mum on Bynum’s Long-Term Future
(Andrew) Bynum, who USA Today reported has agreed to a $1 million deal for the rest of the season, will return to Indianapolis early next week but will not be ready to play for several weeks. He was not made available for comment Saturday by the Pacers or his agent.
“I ain’t worrying about next year and I haven’t all year,” Bird said, when asked responding to a question about whether the Bynum addition was for the long term. “We’re in the now and we’re going to do whatever we can to go as far as we possibly can. We know there’s going to be some tough competition but if we get a chance to improve our team, we’re going to try to do that.”

Jusuf Nurkic can’t seem to catch a figurative break when it comes to literal breaks.
The 7-0 center out of Bosnian and Herzegovina suffered a broken right wrist in the third quarter of Thursday’s game versus the Pacers Thursday night at the Moda Center.
The injury occurred around the 8:40 mark of the third quarter, as Nurkic fell after contesting a drive attempt by Pacers center Myles Turner. Nurkic took a hard fall to the floor and remained there for some time before getting up and immediately heading to the locker room with members of the team’s medical staff. X-rays taken taken during the game showed a fracture to his right wrist, which, depending on the severity and location of the break, could sideline the center for the foreseeable future.
