Just as we were crossing into the realm of what could be considered 'drama,' by some accounts, some fairly enlightening news has come out of the Lakers' camp in regards to Andrew Bynum's recovery.

But first, here's a quick timetable of what's gone down as of late:

July 3rd:  Andrew Bynum did indeed receive medical clearance from doctors Thursday and will begin training in earnest by mid-July. His agent, David Lee, said the Lakers center did not have any pain or swelling in his surgically repaired left knee and will be ready to go by training camp in October. [O.C. Register]

July 9th: Kupchak also questioned whether center Andrew Bynum has been cleared by his doctor to begin training. Last week, Bynum's agent, David Lee, said his client had been given medical clearance by Dr. David Altchek and would start training in two weeks. "I'm not saying what he (Lee) said isn't true," Kupchak said, "I'm saying he has not been cleared." [OC Register]
