"The swelling has subsided in Los Angeles Lakers center Andrew Bynum's right knee and he will play in Game 4 on Sunday, Bynum told reporters on Saturday.

Bynum entered the Hornets practice facility, located about 10 miles outside of downtown New Orleans, with a smile on his face, a day after he fell to the floor for the third time in the past three weeks because of injuries to his right knee that was surgically repaired last summer.

"It's the same bone bruise," Bynum said of his latest scare, which happened early in the third quarter of the Lakers' 100-86 win in Game 3 of their first-round series against the Hornets on Friday. "I keep doing the same thing to it.""
