"Charlotte Bobcats forward Gerald Wallace is out for tonight's game against the Detroit Pistons and probably also Wednesday against the Cleveland Cavaliers, with continuing soreness in his left ankle.

New Bobcats coach Paul Silas said at shootaround this morning he plans to start Gerald Henderson in Wallace's place.

Wallace has been out the past four games with what's now described as both an ankle sprain and a bone bruise. Wallace participated in part of practice Sunday, but the pain he's feeling and his inability to jump effectively has him out for at least two more games."
