Andrew Bynum suspended by Cavs, won't play vs Celtics today, may be done for good
From the Cleveland Cavaliers official website:
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.
And from the very well plugged in Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo Sports:
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.

Cavs believe Bynum has been "disruptive" presence within team and lost hope partnership can be salvaged, league sources tell Yahoo.

Given Bynum's recent history, this is an entirely unsurprising development. That second Woj tweet is also sure to spark ideas in the minds of Celtics fans of a salary dump trade that might allow Boston to get out of paying Gerald Wallace $10 million a year for the next two seasons...
