"Charlotte Bobcats head athletic trainer Steve Stricker was in Colorado on Tuesday for shooting guard Gerald Henderson's hip surgery. Stricker's assessment, via Bobcats media relations:

"There were no surprises - it's exactly what they thought they'd see. Henderson has the same prognosis. They're confident this will definitely alleviate his knee pain."

Henderson had surgery late Tuesday in Vail to repair a labrum in his left hip. A labrum is a ring of cartilage that supports the ball-and-socket mechanism in hips and shoulders."
