Andrew Bynum Hasn't Been In Contact With J.J. Barea
EL SEGUNDO (CBS) -- Andrew Bynum has watched the video of his flagrant foul on J.J. Barea from Game 4 and says, "It's embarrassing, it looks bad, it just looks real bad."
When asked by CBS 2's Jim Hill if he has been in contact with Barea, Bynum said, "I haven't been in contact with him yet."
Before the exit interview, Bynum made a statement:
"I want to apologize for my actions at the start of the fourth quarter of Game 4 against Dallas. That doesn't represent me, my upbringing, this franchise or any of the Lakers' fans out there that want to watch us and want us to succeed. More importantly, I want to apologize to J.J. Barea for doing that. I'm just glad that he wasn't seriously injured in the event. All I can say, now that I have looked at it, and it was terrible, is it definitely won't be happening again."
