On Wednesday, reporters, cameramen, and other interested parties likely will hustle to the window for a glimpse of what Sixers fans have been dying to see: center Andrew Bynum finally practicing with his teammates.

The Sixers have targeted Wednesday as the day for Bynum to hit the floor and finally join the team for a series of practices that they hope will lead to his being available for the season opener next Wednesday against ex-Sixer Andre Iguoudala and his Denver Nuggets at the Wells Fargo Center.

Bynum’s conditioning will be a concern early in the season. Though he has been able to do some cardiovascular work on what Collins has described as an “antigravity machine,” there has been nothing Bynum could do to prepare for games.
