POSTED: Wednesday, March 20, 2013, 8:48 PM

76ers center Andrew Bynum underwent arthroscopic surgery on both knees Tuesday, the team announced.

Bynum is scheduled to begin physical therapy on March 22 and will remain on crutches for six weeks.

The Sixers announced Monday the surgery would occur and it would end any chance Bynum had to play this season.

More to come.

    They could not find a heart big enough, so they did knee surgery instead!

    They should have flown him back to LA while he was knocked out.

    He will never play for this team, really no need to be writing articles on him

    Hope Bynum recovers and is able to play next season and in A SIXERS uni, cause when he's right, he's one of the few truly difference makers

    Hmmm, no mention that he underwent "successful knew surgery". The fans would be the last to know, anyway.

    Most of you call out of work when you have a sniffle and you cry about a guy who can't play with chronic knee issues...his contract was signed and he didn't ask to be traded so he gets paid and his employer was covered with insurance. Your complaints are flamed by a radio station and you can't even see that...I am sad for you and your children who get your genes
