"CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) -- Charlotte Bobcats forward Gerald Wallace suffered a concussion Thursday after being hit in the face with an elbow during practice.

Wallace was taken from the court on a stretcher and taken to Presbyterian Hospital in Charlotte, where he was diagnosed as suffering a Grade II concussion, or one that results in amnesia. He won't play in the Bobcats' next game at New York on Saturday, the team said."

Fantasy Impact

Wallace hasn't had as much of an impact as many people thought he might after moving from the West to East Coast - but that's really beside the point. The point is: he's only going to miss one game (as a precautionary measure), so if you've got daily changes, you can use someone else in his stead. If you've got him in your weekly lineup, you'll just have to hope that T-Mac or Dirk are on your team to fill in for his 11 points and 6 rebouns on Saturday. ;)
