Lakers exercise Bynum's contract option

THE Los Angeles Lakers on Monday picked up All-Star center Andrew Bynum's US$16.1 million contract option for the 2012-13 National Basketball Association season, the Los Angeles Times reported.

Bynum, 24, appeared in 60 games for the Lakers during the lockout-shortened 2011-12 regular season. He averaged 18.7 points and 11.8 rebounds while making 1.9 blocks per game. Both the points and rebound totals were career highs.

In the playoffs, Bynum averaged 16.7 points, 11.1 rebounds and 3.1 blocks but the Lakers were eliminated in five games in the second round by the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Los Angeles made Bynum the 10th overall pick in the 2005 entry draft.
