Basketball Betting Lines

07/23/2010 - Los Angeles, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Los Angeles Lakers announced Kobe Bryant recently underwent arthroscopic surgery on his right knee.

The team released a statement saying the two-time defending Finals MVP had the procedure done last week. He's currently undergoing rehab, but is expected to be fully recovered prior to the start of training camp on September 25.

The news comes less than a week after the team revealed center Andrew Bynum will undergo surgery to repair a tear of the meniscus in his right knee. That procedure is set for Wednesday.

Bryant averaged 27 points in 73 games last season, helping the Lakers to their second consecutive title.

Owens broke the bone leading to his right ring finger Sunday night and had a plate surgically attached to it Monday.

MySportsbook.com online sportsbook listed Terrell Owens with odds of 7-2 (or $7 paid out for every $2 bet) to return back for the game against Tennessee.

"I certainly wouldn't rule it out now," Parcells said, referring to Terrell Owens immediate return. "Maybe five days from now I might, but I wouldn't rule it out now. ... I know we're looking to try to get him moving around pretty good in the next day or so. So we'll see where we are."

Owens did not speak with reporters Wednesday, but said Sunday he'd be out two to four weeks. A return against the Titans would be 13 days after the surgery. The Cowboys were listed as an early -7 1/2 favorite vs. the Tennessee Titans for Week 4 at MySportsbook.com
