Bynum suspended for five games next season

Andrew Bynum's dumb elbow to the upper body of Dallas guard J.J. Barea in the Lakers' final playoff game will cost him $702,272, including the five-game suspension and a $25,000 for taking off his jersey as he left the court. The Lakers — or his next team, in the unlikely event Bynum is traded — will be without his services for the first five games of next season.
