With Kwame Brown sidelined, Andrew Bynum will very likely become the Lakers starting center.

"Chances are great that Andrew will start," said Coach Phil Jackson on Tuesday after practice at the team's El Segundo training facility. "He started earlier in the year and did pretty well. I just don't want him to get three fouls in six minutes in the first half."

"My play was at a higher level at the start of the season when I was starting," Bynum said. "Not starting affects your rhythm. It's tough coming off the bench. Sometimes when you come off the bench, you haven't played for like an hour."
