Charlotte forward Gerald Wallace isn't expected to return until after the All-Star break as he recovers from a partially collapsed lung and a broken rib.

Wallace had to travel from Los Angeles to Charlotte via bus because his injuries wouldn't allow him to fly.

He was injured on a flagrant foul by Lakers center Andrew Bynum late in the fourth quarter of Charlotte's double-overtime win on Jan. 27.

"I keep thinking about that movie ["RV"] with Robin Williams and his family," coach Larry Brown said. "But he's got DVDs and his family with him, so hopefully it won't be too long."
