CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP)—A setback in Charlotte Bobcats forward Tyrus Thomas’(notes)
recovery from left knee surgery will keep him sidelined against the Chicago
Bulls.
Thomas woke up Wednesday with soreness a day after his first full-contact
practice since he was diagnosed with a torn meniscus on Jan. 20. Thomas sat out
shootaround and says he now hopes to return Friday against Portland.
Guard Stephen Jackson(notes) also was less optimistic a day after coach Paul Silas
declared he would return from a strained left hamstring Wednesday against the
Bulls.
Jackson calls himself a “game-time decision” and says there’s some risk in
him re-injuring his leg.
The Bobcats have dropped five straight, but sit a game behind Indiana for
the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference.
