CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) -The Charlotte Bobcats are running out of healthy big men.
Starting center Nazr Mohammed and backup Tyson Chandler missed practice for a second straight day Thursday, just as the team announced reserve DeSagana Diop will be sidelined up to two weeks with a sprained medial collateral ligament in his right knee.
Mohammed has been slowed by back spasms, but said he hopes to play Friday against Cleveland.
Chandler was less optimistic, expressing frustration with his sore left ankle. Chandler missed 22 games earlier this season with a stress reaction in his left foot, and had offseason ankle and toe surgery.
Diop was injured when he collided with teammate Raymond Felton in Tuesday’s loss to New Jersey.
