Bynum out, no longer with Pacers

Center Andrew Bynum will miss the remainder of the NBA playoffs and no longer be with the Indiana Pacers, the team announced Wednesday.

“We want to thank Andrew and our medical staff for trying to get the issues with his knee resolved,” Pacers president Larry Bird said in a statement. “We wish him the best in the future.”

Bynum was signed as a free agent Feb. 1, and played in just two games with averages of 11.5 points and 9.5 rebounds.

The announcement came in the morning before Wednesday night’s Game 2 of the Eastern Conference semifinals matchup against the Washington Wizards, who lead the series 1-0.
