ORLANDO, Florida (Ticker) -- Nearly a month after a scary incident, [COLOR=blue ! important][COLOR=blue ! important]Charlotte [COLOR=blue ! important]Bobcats[/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR] forward Gerald Wallace is expected back for Tuesday's game at Orlando.
The Bobcats have been without Wallace - their third-leading scorer - since January 27, when he was hospitalized following Charlotte's 117-110 double overtime win against the Los Angeles [COLOR=blue ! important][COLOR=blue ! important]Lakers[/COLOR][/COLOR].
Wallace was elbowed by Lakers center Andrew Bynum late in the fourth quarter and suffered a broken rib and partially collapsed lung.
Out of the lineup for the last seven games, Wallace spent two days in a hospital as doctors inserted a tube into his left lung. He traveled back to Charlotte via bus because he was not cleared to fly.
If Wallace, who is averaging 16.4 points and 7.4 rebounds per game this season, starts against the Magic, Vladimir Radmanovic likely would be the first player off the bench.
Radmanovic has averaged 17 points in two games for the Bobcats since being acquired from the Lakers on February 7.
The Bobcats also hope to have guard Raja Bell, who has missed the last three games with a strained groin, back in the lineup. Bell is averaging 13.6 points per game.
Expecting a Charlotte SU win here.

OKC - NO
No Chandler, Wilcox, or Joe Smith tonight ( or I don't think so since the physicals won't get cleared that fast). Don't think it's really a big factor for either team tonight since neither of those 3 were anything close to being an X factor to their teams. Chandler and Joe Smith been out and Wilcox played mediocre minutes (20-25). Had a hard lean on OKC, but depth wise - NO might have an edge and I'll probably lay off that game.
