PHILADELPHIA 76ers center Andrew Bynum will undergo arthroscopic surgery on both knees that will end his National Basketball Association season before it ever started, the team announced on Monday.
The injury-prone seven-footer has a lengthy history of knee ailments and the latest setback dashed hopes of his long-awaited debut for the 76ers this season after they had traded for him during the summer.
"After many months of rehabilitation and consulting with numerous doctors, Andrew and the doctors treating him determined that this is the best course of action at this point," 76ers general manager Tony DiLeo said in a statement.
Philadelphia landed the 25-year-old Bynum in a four-team blockbuster deal that also saw Dwight Howard head to the Los Angeles Lakers.
