LOS ANGELES
Charlotte Bobcats forward Gerald Wallace has been taken to a Los Angeles hospital where he will likely spend the night while being tested for a possible collapsed lung and fractured rib.
Wallace was taken to Centinela Hospital to have a CT scan to check for a collapsed lung. An X-ray at Staples Center indicated no fracture, but as a precaution, Wallace is going to get a second X-ray at the hospital.
Wallace was injured in the fourth quarter of the Bobcats' double-overtime victory over the Lakers when center Andrew Bynum hip-checked Wallace to the floor on a drive to the basket. Bynum was called for a flagrant foul, and Wallace had to be helped to the locker room by teammates.
Bynum was so overrated in jersey when he was in high school. then he goes to the league and calls out shaq and gets embarrassed; that's not how you rep. jersey - now this cheap shot to Gerald Wallace. I hope G Dub gets better quickly. I like your Bobcats squad, this from a fellow NYK fan...
