Front-office sources tell Marc Stein of ESPN that the Bobcats have reached an agreement with Earl Boykins for the remainder of the 2007-2008 season.

The Bobcats first reached out to Boykins in December when Sam Vincent expressed interest in him joining their club, according to a report on RealGM.

Mark Termini, agent for Early Boykins, has told the Dallas Morning-News that his client will likely sign with a club by Friday.

Whether or not Dallas has expressed interest in unclear.

In December, RealGM reported that Charlotte Head Coach Sam Vincent reached out to Boykins about possibly joining their club.

Boykins had a per 40 FIC of 11.7 in 2006-2007 while splitting time with Denver and Milwaukee.

Bobcats' point guard Raymond Felton sat Saturday night with a sprained left ankle, an injury which he says has been bothering him since preseason.

Felton re-injured the ankle in Charlotte's win over the Chicago Bulls the right before, and Coach Sam Vincent is hopeful that he will be back in uniform against Sacramento on Wednesday.

"Playing on it last night didn't help it," Felton said. "That's why I'm sitting out tonight."

The Charlotte Bobcats have assigned forward Jemareo Davidson to the D-League's Sioux Falls Skyforce, according to NBA.com.

He has appeared in sixteen games for the Bobcats this season and is expected to play for the Skyforce when they take on the Utah Flash on Friday.

Charlotte Bobcats' forward Gerald Wallace is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Dallas Mavericks because of a strained left calf.

He plans to sit out the team's shootaround on Wednesday afternoon to get additional rest. He'll will test his leg during pregame warmups and determine if he's able to play.

Gerald Wallace of the Charlotte Bobcats and Baron Davis of the Golden State Warriors were named the NBA's Players of the Week for the games played Jan. 14-20th.

Based on feedback from the NBA, the Bobcats won't file a protest concerning the basket-interference call against Emeka Okafor in Saturday's loss to Detroit.

Bobcat GM Rod Higgins contacted the NBA's Stu Jackson, asking for a review of game tapes after referee Mark Davis ruled that Okafor touched a ball while it was above the cylinder. That whistle negated a tip-in by Nazr Mohammed which might have beaten the Pistons.

"They feel that's the right call they made," Higgins said of Jackson's reaction.

Higgins said he did not anticipate the league taking action against Coach Sam Vincent for criticizing officials.

The Charlotte Bobcats will get both of their point guards back for Monday's game against Denver.

Raymond Felton and Jeff McInnis went through the team's shootaround Monday morning and were cleared to play against the Nuggets.

"I'll be ready. I'm going to get out there and hoop," said Felton, who sprained his right ankle in Friday's double-overtime loss to Cleveland. "I've played through pain. I've done it before."

Felton and McInnis (strained right quadriceps) missed Saturday's overtime loss to Detroit, leaving Charlotte without a point guard. The Bobcats were forced to have shooting guards and small forwards bring the ball up the floor.

"It's a relief that it's not an extended time they're going to be out," said Coach Sam Vincent, who indicated reserve guard Derek Anderson would also play Monday after missing five games with a bruised right knee.
