In his first public comments since being ejected from Friday’s 112-107 loss to the Houston Rockets, Los Angeles Lakers center Andrew Bynum was unapologetic for the incident.  Read more after the jump.

“I don’t have any regrets. Stuff happens,” Bynum said after the Lakers’ 125-105 loss to thePhoenix Suns on Saturday. “I was ejected for something that happens every game. People talk. It is what it is.”

Bynum scored a turnaround hook shot with 11:19 remaining in the fourth quarter to draw the Lakers within one, 84-83, and had something to say to the Houston bench as he ran back up the floor, earning him his second technical foul of the game and an automatic ejection. Bynum was first T’d up in the third quarter after getting tangled up with the Rockets’ Samuel Dalembert.

Bynum said his comments to the bench were unprovoked.

“I made a shot and I felt like telling them about it,” Bynum said.

What exactly did he say?

“‘It’s going to be a long night for Dalembert,'” Bynum recalled on Saturday.

The 7-footer was then asked by a reporter if that was all he said.

“Yup,” Bynum said. “Sucks, right?”

Kobe Bryant said he would discuss Bynum’s behavior with him.

“The key is to find that balance,” Bryant said. “You don’t want him to lose that edge or lose that rage that he’s been playing with We have to be patient. He’s been extremely productive.”

Coach Mike Brown hopes to see a different, more mature Bynum moving forward.

“He’s in a process where he’s learning and he’s growing,” Brown said. “That’s one area he’s got to continue to try to figure out and navigate through and hopefully at the end of the day it will make him a better player.”
