Bynum's knee refills with fluid after procedure

06/02/2010 -

LOS ANGELES (AP) -Four years into his NBA career, Andrew Bynum is still trying to make it through his first full postseason.

The oft-injured Los Angeles Lakers center went through a limited practice Wednesday for the first time since having his balky right knee drained on Monday. Bynum was hoping the procedure would reduce the swelling, but he says that didn't happen and his knee has filled with fluid again.

Bynum was helpless to stop the Boston Celtics' pummeling of the Lakers in the NBA finals two years ago because he was injured. He'll get a chance starting Thursday night when the Lakers host the Celtics in Game 1 of the finals.Copyright © 2005 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.

Kurt Warner to start, Matt Leinart to watch

Despite the debate that's swirling , Kurt Warner will remain the starting quarterback for the Arizona Cardinals, coach Dennis Green said today. The Arizona Cardinals are the +7 point underdog at online sportsbook MySportsbook.com for this Sunday's game.

Green's comment came in a statement released by the team following an ESPN report that Green decided that rookie Matt Leinart would replace Warner as starter for Sunday's game at Atlanta.

"Generally talking about the starting lineup is not something we do," Green told the AP. "However, given the speculation that was out there we want to make it clear. We're disappointed after last week, but we still expect to be a playoff football team and we fully expect Kurt Warner to be the quarterback that leads us. That has not changed."
