The Charlotte Bobcats lose Gerald Henderson for a while

admin — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 13:37:55 +0000

The news keeps getting worse for the 3-20 Charlotte Bobcats as they are going to be without starting shooting guard Gerald Henderson for the next 2-4 weeks due to a pulled hamstring. Henderson has played in 21 games (all starts) for the Bobcats so far this year and he is averaging 33.8 minutes, 15.0 points, 4.4 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game. Henderson is the Bobcats’ leading scorer so far this year and they are only averaging 87.3 points per game this year, so they are going to miss him big time. Look for 31-year old Matt Carroll and 25-year old Reggie Williams to see bumps in P.T. until Henderson is ready to return to action. Carroll has played in 20 games (2 starts) for the Bobcats so far this year and he is averaging 13.6 minutes, 3.8 points, 1.3 rebounds and 0.8 assists per game on a pathetic 34.6% shooting from the floor. Reggie Williams has just recently starting playing for the Bobcats this year as he has been rehabbing an injury. He has played in 2 games (0 starts) for the Bobcats so far this year and he is averaging 15.0 minutes, 4.0 points, 3.5 rebounds and 0.5 assists per game. The Bobcats are really going to miss Gerald Henderson and they better hope that he heals quickly.

24-year old starting point guard D.J. Augustin’s toe is still barking and he will likely miss the Bobcats upcoming 4-game road trip. He has played in 17 games (all starts) for the Bobcats so far this year and he is averaging 32.6 minutes, 13.6 points, 3.1 rebounds and 6.6 assists per game. 21-year old rookie Kemba Walker has stepped up so far while Augustin has been out of action. Walker has started the last 9 games for the Bobcats and he is averaging 15.1 points, 5.9 rebounds, 4.4 assists and 1.6 steals per game. He has now played in 21 games (9 starts) overall this year for the Bobcats and he is averaging 27.1 minutes, 12.2 points, 4.0 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.1 steals per game despite only shooting 37.3% from the floor.

admin — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 15:29:51 +0000

The Bobcats have been awful this year but you can’t blame that on 24-year old SG Gerald Henderson, who has really stepped up so far this year.
