Lakers center Andrew Bynum admitted on Tuesday that he's not at full strength yet, something that has been obvious to those who follow his game.

"It's just not ready," Bynum said of the knee he injured back in January. "I'm probably about 85-90 percent."

Bynum said that he isn't feeling any pain or soreness, but he doesn't feel the same strength in the knee.

"I just think it's a timing thing; I just need more time to get it stronger," he said.
