Bobcats Felton And Wallace Questionable

The Charlotte Bobcats could be without starters Raymond Felton and Gerald Wallace for Friday night's road game against the Washington Wizards.

Wallace and Felton sat out most of practice Thursday at the Wizards' practice court inside the Verizon Center. Wallace suffered a left hip-pointer in Wednesday's loss to the Atlanta Hawks. Felton felt back spasms Thursday while going up for a shot early in practice.

The Bobcats will re-assess Wallace's and Felton's injuries at shootaround Friday morning.

Nets Coach: Team Lacks Hunger

The Bobcats got any shot they wanted in the first half and held on to hand the Nets their sixth-straight loss, a 96-92 defeat Tuesday night at Continental Arena that left Nets coach Lawrence Frank disgusted, puzzled and in an overall sour mood.

"We just put up no resistance on the defensive end in the first half," Frank said. "I don't know what to say right now.

"I would think we want to be hungry for a win. I guess right now we haven't bought into what it's going to take for us to win. We do it for a half."

Anderson Signs With Charlotte

Derek Anderson joined his seventh team on Tuesday by signing with the Charlotte Bobcats.

"This was a better situation than the other offers I had,'' Anderson said. "I wanted to find the best fit for me. It's a matter of using my skills to help the team out.''

"That versatility was definitely a factor so he can spell the guys at the point and also do some scoring,'' Bobcats coach and general manager Bernie Bickerstaff said. "He can take some pressure off our young wings.''
