Charlotte forward Gerald Wallace has a strained right foot that will keep him on the bench for one week.

"I think right now about a week; we want to be more cautious," Bobcats' Coach Sam Vincent told the Charlotte Observer of Wallace's injury. "Gerald is a warrior. If he can play, we know he will."

Wallace was wearing a protective boot at the arena on Saturday, and Jared Dudley will start for the team in his absence.
