This sounds problematic, especially for the Miami game coming up. We need him in that game to close out our homestand undefeated and solidy our hold on 5th place. I hope his ankle feels better tomorrow!

i would rather him miss a game or two than to try to keep playing on a bad ankle. give it a week and let it heal.

Yeah take a week to be safe. Insert Flip and slide Jack to the 3 and or play the rookies in that position.

Heres our chance to rest GW and start Derrick Brown at the 3 and give him 30-36 minutes, Rotate Jax/Graham between the 2 and the 3 and flip and hendo into the 2 and tell Diaw to keep his Butt out on the floor40 minutes and off the bench.
Miami has been playing small ball anyway. Then revaluate GW day to day? Make sure Crash is right before putting him back out on the floor?

Bonnell is reporting no additional news on Crash's ankle today....which he thinks is a sign of something more serious than an ankle sprain.

Here's hoping Bonnell is completely wrong and Crash will only be out a few days...

I'm with all of you on this, but I have a bad feeling that Larry Brown isn't...

I got him to clarify...that was a mistype.

I meant that they're sticking with the original diagnosis.

When I first read it I was pretty upset too.

FWIW I think LB would go with Flip before he went with UPS...but I could be wrong.

Doesn't sound too bad, but it makes me worried that Brown is already telling about adding Flip to lineup.

I am afraid he is going to miss at least one game. DAMN. He is in my fantasy team!

Home game against Miami should be must win, as we would strengthen our spot.. This game is 1 GB ...

He'll play against the Heat.

Wallace says he'll play tonight

Charlotte Bobcats star Gerald Wallace says he's ready to play tonight against the Miami Heat, after spraining his left ankle Monday versus the Sacramento Kings.

"It would have to be broken for me not to play,'' Wallace said at shootaround this morning. "No soreness that I haven't felt before, so I think I'll be pretty good'' to go.

Wallace said he spent Monday night in a protective boot to keep pressure off his ankle, then received ice and electric stimulation treatment for the injury.

who is tougher, felton or wallace or jackson? that would be an interesting argument.

all 3 guys would rather cut their arm off than miss a game to injury.
