Gerald Wallace is expected to participate in full-contact practices with the Bobcats this week, according to the Associated Press.

He has been sidelined since Feb. 22 when he was knocked unconscious during a game. The team hopes he might be able to play against the Mavericks on Wednesday.

"He's been working out, and he's been on the floor. Did some up-and-down running, got a little winded," Charlotte Coach Sam Vincent said. "But he's feeling pretty comfortable that by the Dallas game he should at least be good enough to be able to get on the floor a little bit."
