While the rest of his teammates concluded practice on the basketball court Thursday, Andrew Bynum spent most of his afternoon in a therapy pool on the campus of Temple University.
“I’m a shell of myself on the court right now,” a melancholy Bynum said Thursday after practice. “I’m struggling mentally. I’m trying.”
He admitted to thoughts of retirement after last season and even still now. “It was a thought, it was a serious thought. Still is,” Bynum said regarding retirement. “At the moment, it’s tough to enjoy the game because of how limited I am physically. I’m still sort of working through that.”
