According to Cleveland Cavaliers coach Mike Brown, Andrew Bynum has been cleared by doctors to play and may in fact see some minutes tonight as they open their season against the Brooklyn Nets.
Chance Andrew Bynum plays tonight, Mike Brown says.

Browns says "We feel like there will be an opportunity," but very limited minutes. Will not start. #cavs #nets #nba

Cavs' coaches, doctors, management all in agreement that Bynum is ready. "We don't want to rush him," Brown cautions.

Cavs' Brown says he's "excited about (Bynum) possibly getting a taste of game action," and that's where expectations end for now.

It’s probably unlikely for Bynum to actually play at all, though. If he’s healthy enough to only play a few minutes, then why play him at all? Makes no sense.
