"The injury report improved dramatically Monday for the Charlotte Bobcats.

Coach Paul Silas anticipates Gerald Henderson, D.J. White and newcomer Reggie Williams all playing Tuesday night when the Bobcats play the Los Angeles Lakers at the Staples Center. That's the closest to full strength the Bobcats have been in weeks.

Henderson missed both games last week against the Washington Wizards with a lower-back contusion. He aggravated that injury in Philadelphia, while taking a charge. He didn't practice Monday, but said the injury was feeling much better, so he expects to play against Kobe Bryant in Los Angeles."
