Lakers Coach Phil Jackson said today that there will be no restrictions on center Andrew Bynum in Thursday’s game against Phoenix, other than limiting his playing time to 35 minutes.

Bynum has practiced the last two days after missing two games because of a strained right elbow and sore right triceps.

Bynum was injured late in the Lakers’ Nov. 4 win over Houston.
