Bobcats' Wallace hospitalized for possible collapsed lung
LOS ANGELES
Charlotte Bobcats forward Gerald Wallace has been taken to a Los Angeles hospital where he will likely spend the night while being tested for a possible collapsed lung and fractured rib.
Wallace was taken to Centinela Hospital to have a CT scan to check for a collapsed lung. An X-ray at Staples Center indicated no fracture, but as a precaution, Wallace is going to get a second X-ray at the hospital.
Wallace was injured in the fourth quarter of the Bobcats' double-overtime victory over the Lakers when center Andrew Bynum hip-checked Wallace to the floor on a drive to the basket. Bynum was called for a flagrant foul, and Wallace had to be helped to the locker room by teammates.

Prayers go to Gerald and his family.
Man, I was pissed about that foul... That's also why I was happy Kobe fouled out b/c it kind of evened things up.
I was really concerned about Gerald. I pray and believe he'll be fine though. Hopefully, he won't miss much time though b/c we need him.
BTW, if his rib is not fractured, how would his lung be collapsed? Don't you have to have something puntcure your lung to collapse it?
Not necessarily, I read that theyres a form of both trauma collapse and blast collapse, his could be a mix? idk, not a doc...Originally Posted by Proudiddy

Don't believe in prayers but he has my best wishes for a speedy and full recovery.
One in the same my man. We're on the same page, despite different belief systems.
Just read that recovery is anywhere from a few days to a 2 weeks IF it is just a collapsed lung and not a fractured rib as well.
Right, but usually the quick fixes are with hospitalization, the impact ones are supposed to take a week, ut thats not measuring how well you play in the nba, just in the real world
Well, let's hope we're wrong and it might just be a deep bruise or something... Hopefully he'll miss little to no time.
