"The most fixable aspect of the Charlotte Bobcats' 12-game

losing streak is the injury situation. It sounded Wednesday like three key players are on the mend.

Gerald Henderson, D.J. Augustin and Corey Maggette – the team's top three scorers this

season – have all missed considerable stretches of late. All three are hopeful they'll be ready to play again before the All-Star break, which starts Feb. 23.

Point guard Augustin has been out with severe inflammation in his right big toe since a loss in New Jersey Jan. 22. He says he's feeling dramatically better, and might play as soon as a Monday home game against the Philadelphia 76ers."
