It's a fact that situations occur based upon a chain of events. If Bynum would've gotten suspended for even one game, he would've done things differently than how he did them leading up to his injury against the Grizz. He wouldn't have woke up at the same exact time, nor would he have went the exact same speed and thus arrived at the arena at the same time that he did. A one minute difference can make or break your life.
Imagine if you would've bought a winning lottery ticket one day before or after you decided to.
You would not be a millionaire.
Imagine if your father did not climax and thus impregnated your mother at the exact time he did.
You would not be alive.
Imagine if Kobe Bryant's father did not go to Japan and fall in love with Kobe beef.
The best player in the league might be named James Bryant.
If Andrew Bynum would've gotten a suspension, he would not be injured right now. I blame David Stern.

In the Finals last year I thought Pierce tore up just about every ligament in his knee, a few years ago Al Jefferson severely sprained his ankle and was writhing on the ground in pain like he'd just had the thing blown off in 'Nam. I also remember a game that same year when Wally World went down, cried on the ground for 2-3 minutes, then returned to the game. Also, someone mentioned Michael Redd and how he walked off the court then found out he tore his ACL and MCL.
I don't know whether it's some guys just have a higher threshold for pain or what, but a lot of times it looks a lot worse than it really is. Even though he's out for the rest of the year at least they're saying it's only a partial tear so he should be 100% by training camp. I personally wasn't expecting him to return this year, I never do when I see a guy in that much pain, but I'm glad that it shouldn't effect his development long-term.
The kid just needs to catch some better luck, although on the bright side he's still only 21 year old and his body shouldn't have too much trouble recovering quickly.

we don't know it's a partial tear yet, until someone finds a link.
Sporting News staff reports Early reports on Lakers center Andrew Bynum's knee indicate he suffered a sprain and could miss the next six weeks, the New York Daily News reports.
However, Bynum had an MRI on Sunday, and the team fears the damage could be more serious and he could be out longer. This injury is to Bynum's right knee. It was a left knee injury that kept Bynum out of the Lakers' lineup last season from January through the playoffs.
...
"Hopefully everything will be OK," Bryant said after the Lakers' practice Sunday. "We haven't heard the results from the MRI yet, but we're optimistic about it."
Jackson called the injury "a great disappointment" and said he didn't know when Bynum would play again. "Everyone knows we're probably going to have to go on for quite a while without him," Jackson said.
