Update...

WASHINGTON (AP)—Charlotte Bobcats forward Gerald Wallace will miss at least two weeks after suffering his fourth concussion in four seasons Friday night in a loss to Sacramento.
“Gerald is probably going to be two weeks to maybe slightly more,” Charlotte coach Sam Vincent said before Saturday’s game with the Washington Wizards. “He’s in an observation stage.”

I have had 3 concussions before....it's no fun.....it sucks. I have such a bad memory now.

Nice to see somebody tracking that injury to GWall. I would like to think that most of us still pull for Gerald. Guy brings all kind of heart and athleticism to the game. Glad to hear that he is doing better...

Gerald Wallace Develops Post-Concussion Symptoms

FEBRUARY 25, 2008 - Charlotte Bobcats forward Gerald Wallace developed post-concussion symptoms over the weekend that included headaches, drowsiness and soreness of the neck and jaw, according to Bobcats team physicians Dr. Glenn Perry and Dr. Joe Garcia.
Wallace is scheduled to see Charlotte-based neurologist Dr. Jerry Petty later this week, where he will go through a series of neural tests.
Following the evaluation and based off the recommendation by Dr. Petty and team doctors, a timetable will be determined for his return. At this point, no timetable has been set.
Wallace suffered a Grade 3 concussion on February 22 against the Sacramento Kings. Further tests at Presbyterian Hospital later that night revealed no fractures and no bleeding.
The injury occurred with 9:54 left in the third quarter after an inadvertent elbow by Kings forward Mikki Moore. Wallace was immediately taken to the hospital for evaluation where he received a CAT-Scan and other on-site tests. He was later released and returned home.

Looks like it may be longer than the two weeks predicted. Get well Gerald, we still love you here in Sacramento.

I certaily hope he will be okay. Four concussions is not good for anybody. At a certain point it just becomes too much to risk any more concussions. Be careful Gerald!
