Andrew Bynum never really panned out for the Los Angeles Lakers as a first-round pick out of high school, but the team is still willing to support him as he attempts to rekindle his NBA career at age 30.
Shams Charania of The Athletic reports that Bynum spent some time working out at the Lakers’ facility this week. While it was not considered an official workout, he has been scheduling workouts with other teams.
Sources: Former Los Angeles Lakers champion center Andrew Bynum worked out in the Lakers' facility this week as he pursues NBA comeback. Not an official Lakers workout, but gave Bynum opportunity for open gym runs.

Under current Lakers leadership, there's been open door for the franchise's past and present players. Bynum won two titles in LA and was 2012 All-Star. He is scheduling other team workouts, too, in his comeback bid. https://t.co/KdX3pWfsUG

Bynum spent the first seven seasons of his career with the Lakers and was part of two championship teams in 2009 and 2010. He had the potential to be a franchise cornerstone, but he dealt with some knee injuries and character concerns that derailed his career. He last played in the NBA during the 2013-2014 season.
This is not the first time we have heard of Bynum attempting a comeback.
