Bobcats' Gerald Wallace Released from Hospital

Charlotte Bobcats forward Gerald Wallace was released from a Los Angeles hospital Thursday night after suffering a collapsed lung and a fractured rib earlier in the week.

The injuries occurred late in the fourth quarter of Tuesday's 117-110 double- overtime victory over the Lakers when he was fouled by Andrew Bynum. The Lakers center appeared to throw his right elbow into Wallace's ribs as he was charging the lane. Wallace fell to the floor, had to be helped off the court and was taken to the locker room.

Bynum was called for a flagrant foul on the play.

Wallace had an x-ray at the Staples Center following the game, then was taken to Centinela Hospital to undergo a CT scan as a precautionary measure.

Tests revealed that Wallace lost 30-40 percent of his lung capacity and had a non-displaced fracture of the fifth rib on his left side. Wallace had a chest tube inserted into the lung to help restore it to functional capacity.

Even though the lung has fully healed, Wallace will remain in the Los Angeles area and is scheduled to meet with a cardiothoracic surgeon on Monday, at which time it will be determined when the Alabama product will given clearance to travel back to Charlotte.

Wallace is averaging 16.4 points with 7.4 rebounds and 2.6 assists in 41 games this season.
