"Andrew Bynum played in his fourth game of the lockout-delayed season Thursday night, as many as he had to sit out while serving a league-imposed suspension for decking J.J. Barea last May in the playoffs.

The 7-foot center's conditioning still isn't what it could be. He says he gets winded easily and needs frequent rests to recover from the occasionally frenetic pace of the games.

He has not disappointed coach Mike Brown in the least, however.

"He's played great. I can't ask for more than what I'm getting from him right now," Brown said. "If in a couple of months he's still in the home-run trot and still out of shape then we're going to have a little bit of a problem. But he's working his tail off.

"He's learning as best as he can. - I have no complaints about Andrew Bynum.""
