"We're hoping for the first of February for practice," DiLeo said. "But we have to just wait and see how it goes. He's done a lot of work, but he hasn't had to go hard and stop and start. That will be important."[/background] [background=rgb(244, 243, 238)]
Barring setback, the 76ers are hoping to bring back Bynum for a game or two before the All-Star break. Seeing him back on the court before the break would allow the 76ers to evaluate the center.[/background]
