Looks like center Andrew Bynum is in hot water with the Cleveland Cavaliers. Bynum initially was excited about signing with team even promising a playoff spot and All Star appearance but things haven’t gone well. The team has fallen way below expectations and Bynum definitely isn’t putting up All-Star numbers, and now he’s been suspended.

Cavaliers center Andrew Bynum has been suspended for conduct detrimental to the team, Cavaliers General Manager Chris Grant announced today. Bynum did not travel with the team to Boston last night for the team’s game this afternoon at 1:00 p.m. vs. the Celtics and has been excused from all team activities indefinitely. His status will be updated as appropriate.
According Yahoo’s NBA writer Adrian Wojnarwoski:
About Bynum suspension, league source tells Yahoo: “He doesn’t want to play basketball anymore. He never liked it that much in first place.”
It’s very possible Bynum’s played his final game for Cavs, sources tell Yahoo. In trade, a team can waive Bynum and save $6m of $12m salary.
Teams who considered signing Bynum in summer were as concerned about his desire to play as his knees. Officials didn’t see motivated rehab.
Cavs believe Bynum has been “disruptive” presence within team and lost hope partnership can be salvaged
Prior to his suspension Bynum was averaging 8.4 points, 5.3 rebounds and 1.2 blocks in about 20 minutes per game.
So… Andrew Bynum Finished his career OR Will turn out as a great bargain ? that’s what people think about him… http://opi.cc/Nkkb9x4Q1JuAJcao
