Injury shelves Bobcats' Henderson

January 29, 2012

Charlotte Bobcats guard Gerald Henderson, who starred at Episcopal Academy, sat out Saturday night against the Washington Wizards after aggravating a back injury in Friday night's loss to the 76ers.

Henderson missed Wednesday night's game against the Wizards, but returned to play against the 76ers.

However, coach Paul Silas said he believed Henderson might have injured his back during a fall Friday night.

Matt Carroll got the start in place of Henderson.

Silas said guard D.J. Augustin and forwards D.J. White and Corey Maggette likely won't play during the team's four-game road trip because of injuries, but there's a chance guard Reggie Williams will return to practice Monday.

Jackson suspended

The NBA suspended Milwaukee Bucks guard/forward Stephen Jackson one game for verbal abuse of an official and failure to leave the court in a timely manner in Friday night's loss at Chicago.

The league announced the suspension Saturday afternoon, a few hours before the Bucks were set to play the Los Angeles Lakers in Milwaukee. The incident occurred at the end of the Bucks' 107-100 road loss to the Bulls.
