Bobcats' Wallace Leaves With Injury

POSTED: 11:23 pm EST February 22, 2008

(Sports Network) - Charlotte Bobcats forward Gerald Wallace sustained a Grade 3 concussion Friday night during the third quarter of a home game against the Sacramento Kings after taking an elbow to the face from Kings center Mikki Moore.

Wallace was knocked unconscious by the blow from Moore, and while at nearby Presbyterian Hospital, experienced a slight case of amnesia. He underwent further tests which showed no fractures or bleeding, and was out of the hospital and back home late Friday night.

The 6-foot-8 forward will not be making the trip to Washington for the team's game with the Bobcats Saturday, and there is no immediate timetable for his return.

Just over two minutes into the third, Wallace caught an elbow to his left cheek while defending Moore, and after going down, laid on the floor for more than five minutes. He was attended to by the Bobcats medical staff and taken off the floor on a stretcher.

Wallace is Charlotte's leading scorer on the season, averaging 20.9 points per game while also pulling down 6.2 rebounds and handing out 3.6 assists per contest.
