As if this season for the Charlotte Bobcats has not been bad enough (the expansion team boasts a 12-46 record), now co-captain Gerald Wallace will be sidelined for two weeks with a rib injury suffered in a collision with Wally Szczerbiak in a recent game versus the Timberwolves.  

"We can't catch a break, but we keep plugging away," Bobcats coach Bernie Bickerstaff says.

He also averages 5.5 rebounds and is seventh in the league in steals (1.73).

"He does a lot of things," Bickerstaff says. "It's good to see people take advantage of opportunities. He didn't get many in Sacramento, through no fault of his. They were loaded and playing well."
