Sixers on Bynum’s Knees: No Worries, So Relax
Worried
about Andrew Bynum’s knees? Yeah, well, don’t be. At least that seemed to be
the message from Sixers CEO Adam Aron late last night or early this morning on
Twitter. (I saw it in the 8 AM hour and Twitter only indicated that the series
of tweets were posted 8 hours prior.)
In a
series of tweets labeled “BYNUM KNEE UPDATE [I-V]” Aron said, “1.
Did not have surgery in Germany, had injections. 2. Will not have surgery next
week, routine injection every year 3. While conditioning in Sept, unrelated to
German procedure, he got a bone bruise which we transparently announced. 4. If
all goes to plan, he’s back Oct 24. But we won’t know how the knee feels for
sure until, no surprise, Oct 24. 5. From there, he has to get into game shape.
That is everything Sixers know. The rest of the loose talk is guessing.”
He added,
“If Twitter did not limit to 140 characters, could do this in one communication
not six, but know you want the facts. So, relax everybody. We have ourselves a
great talent in Andrew Bynum. Going to be very exciting to watch him play.”
Normally,
I don’t even attempt anything resembling reporting
on the Ink anymore – the only difference between me and other bloggers in
that area is that I admit it – but I just couldn’t resist posting this message.
You just have to love a CEO getting on Twitter, which Aron does regularly to
communicate with fans, telling everybody to chill.
