LOS ANGELES — Lakers coach Phil Jackson has no idea how the NBA did the math that resulted in Andrew Bynum receiving a two-game suspension for his flagrant foul on Minnesota’s Michael Beasley.

Jackson just knows the absence of the shotblocking center is a big negative in the middle of the two-time champions’ defense.

Bynum, who has little prior history of hard fouls, missed Sunday’s game against Portland and will sit out Tuesday’s meeting with Phoenix under the suspension announced Sunday morning by the NBA.

Jackson said he agreed with the flagrant foul and Bynum’s ejection last Friday, but thought the resulting penalty was “excessive.” Bynum will lose roughly $250,000 during his suspension without pay.
