Vincent Will Start Brezec At Center For Bobcats

Charlotte Bobcats' coach Sam Vincent is penciling in center Primoz Brezec as a starter.

Brezec missed roughly the first two weeks of training camp with a family issue, but the 7-footer played in both the weekend exhibitions against the Los Angeles Lakers and Phoenix Suns. Vincent hopes to use Emeka Okafor primarily at power forward, rather than center, this season.

By going with Brezec, Vincent avoids starting Walter Herrmann (which makes the Bobcats small) and Ryan Hollins (who's inexperienced). However, this is not a concrete decision. Vincent will continue to tinker with his rotation to compensate for losing Sean May and Adam Morrison for the season.

Morrison Likely Out For Year With Torn Ligament

Charlotte Bobcats reserve forward Adam Morrison is likely done for the season after an MRI exam on Sunday revealed a torn ligament in his left knee.

The injury occurred with about 5½ minutes left in the third quarter of Saturday night's 113-93 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers. Morrison was attempting to defend Luke Walton on a drive to the basket and crumpled to the floor in severe pain while clutching his left knee.

"Our medical staff has had a chance to review the MRI, and they're saying right now they believe there is some sort of tear," coach Sam Vincent said Sunday, about an hour before the Bobcats took on Phoenix in the second day of the annual Staples Center shootout.

"Until they get in there and do whatever they do, who knows? But they are saying there's a good chance he will be out for the year. So I'm not counting on him playing," Vincent added.
